I've been working diligently for the last month on a flat left wrist and bend right wrist through impact with some good success. The problem is I have developed significant discomfort in the outer portion of my right elbow. It is especially uncomfortable at the point of full right arm extension while the right wrist remains bent. From what information I have gathered so far, this seems to be similar to "tennis elbow" as opposed to "golfers elbow" which affects the inner aspect of the elbow. The discomfort started even when I was doing drills with dowels and hadn't even hit any balls yet. Now that I have started to hit balls, it's gotten considerably worse.
Is this something that is common to starting out with this or do you think I might be doing something wrong? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW I realize hitting off of mats may be exacerbating it but I have hit off of mats for over 20 years without ever having this problem before.
