At the urging of my daughter, I played my first round with her about 3 months ago. It was humbling & a bit embarrassing. Since I was now on a mission to redeem myself, I studied numerous videos to learn proper technique. Everything was progressing well until I pulled a hamstring muscle about a week ago while practicing. Keep in mind that I practice hip & shoulder rotation and various range of motion exercises daily in my home gym.
I am at a loss as to what I did to cause the hsamstring pull while practicing my backhand drive. The only thing that comes to mind is that while throwing the disc, my left foot might have been partially planted as I started my hip rotation. (BTW, I am right-handed). This would seem to cause a twisting motion in the hamstring of the left leg. But as a newcomer to the sport, i thought that I would check with some of you veteran players as to your thoughts.
Much appreciated.
