I've been playing polo for around two months and over time have developed pain and weakness across the knuckles of my mallet hand. It has gradually gotten worse, with the pain still lingering a day or so after I play.
Over xmas I've had the chance to rest it. The rest along with some light movement of the knuckles has helped although the knuckle of my middle finger is still remains sore and csuses pain when I try to move it.
So been trying to think of a few solutions:
Gloves - at the min I'm just using a pair of cycling gloves, if I were to upgrade these to a pair of hockey or la crose gloves I could get a bit of extra padding added support to take the pressure of.
Tape - atm I'm just using hockey tape if I were to use say a foamier cork tape and double wrap it.
Grip - perhaps loosening my grip a little would ease the pressure across the knuckles.
These were just a few of the ideas to come to mind but appreciate and feedback from people who may have encountered similar issues.
