Wrist problems in Fly?

Has anyone ever had a problem with their wrists in fly? It's hard to describe, but during the pull in fly, the bones in my wrist seem to lose contact with the bones in my arm, causing me to lose control of my hand somewhat. It's like the force of the pull stretches my wrist to the point where the bones are no longer making proper contact. I can't even do a broken 75 of fly before this starts happening. I don't favor one arm over the other in fly, so it's not that. I do write left-handed, but I hardly ever write with my hands anymore...I type virtually everything. So I don't think it's that. I've started to do some exercises to strengthen my wrists, but they don't seem to have had much impact yet. Anybody else ever experienced this? Were you able to resolve it? If so, how?

  • I get pain in my left wrist when swimming backstroke, but I think that is because I pull on the laneline with every left stroke ;) it could be something none swimming related. Do you get the same feeling if you swim any other strike with paddles on? on the days I swim a lot of back before swimming with paddles I feel as if I have weak wrist and can't swim very fast with the paddles on.
