Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Wrist Wrap for Tennis
When searching for a wrist wrap for tennis or brace, the key is finding a balance between support and mobility. Unlike supports for daily activities, a tennis-specific brace must:
- Provide Dynamic Compression: The support must maintain constant, effective compression throughout the entire range of motion, from the pronation/supination of the serve to the powerful grip of a groundstroke.
- Target Ulnar Instability: Many tennis-related wrist issues stem from instability on the ulnar side (the pinky-finger side). Specialized compression wraps are often the most effective solution for this specific pain.
- Be Low-Profile: The wrist support must not be bulky or interfere with your grip on the racquet handle, ensuring you maintain a secure feel and control over the racquet face.
