How should I train my wrist?

a heavier racket within 130g give-or-take would be useful yes.

I don't always use it on warm-up specifically because it messes with my swing and timing, but on training or on drills for power / strength i do use the heavy racket

 

best way to train your wrist is buy a powerball gyro ^_^ you get amazing results ^_^

 

u can use squash racket or a badminton racket with a cover over it

You can try dumbell twists - I stick them on the end of biceps at the gym.

Hold a light (1-2 kg) dumbell out in front of you, palm up, with your forearm horizontal and your elbow at 90 degrees. Turn the dumbell over and back again (twisting your wrist only - keep your forearm still) as fast as you and as many times as you can in, say, 15 seconds, then switch hands (for symmetry). This mimics the fast contractions that happen during power shots. You're not lifting the weight, only working against its inertia.

When this gets too easy, just increase the weight or the time.

 

^awesome exersize

as well as doing those armchair twists using a any racket inside its cover

 

any model will do depends which ball you like and with or without the digital meter, but not the metal light series, those ball are for advance people... normal version is 260g heavy but the metal light is 560g...

 

well I use the original power ball to strengthen my wrist after seriously spraining it during a cycling accident ( I went flying over the handlebar). works great for that.

 

I use both Powerball and Apacs Training W200.
If you stay in KL/PJ area, KD Sports sells the Apacs Training series.
There's the 120g, 140g, 160g models which you should check beforehand.

The Powerball is a superb investment you should make, IMHO.

 

IMHO, and i'm not affiliated in any way with NSD (the guys who make Powerballs),
Powerballs are worth it for anyone. Even if they are not sportsmen/women.

As for the training racket, i only use it for warming up before and between matches.

 

I have the 250Hz Classic and the Signature Pro.
Planning to buy 2 more 250Hz Classics for mom and pops and a Fusion Pro for record attempts.

Now i'm just about touching 12,000 rpm.
If you plan to warm up, do as fast as you can go, 3 sets of 10 secs.
If you want to build endurance and strength, aim for 9,000 - 11,000 for 30 secs. Do 5 sets. Have 30 secs of rest in between sets. Do more sets to get better results.

 

I bought one 3 weeks ago, is fusion pro with digital meter. max i can go 11.5k RPM, i do it when i free... approx 3 to 4 hours per day... and now i can spin around 8mins with the speed approx 6k RPM.... and 1min + with the speed approx 9k RPM ^_^ looking forward to get my wrist stronger

 

Where can one purchase these powerballs?
