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?
Thanks for the feedback. Nah, my wrists have never been injured, and I don't use paddles. Neither wrist has ever shown signs of carpal tunnel, and I never had this problem as an age group/college swimmer.
Fortunately, this problem has never surfaced in a race. But since it does limit my ability to train fly, it does impact my ability to race fly when the time comes.
Oh well, I'll continue trying to strengthen my wrists with targeted exercise. I'll google it and see what comes up.
