Sometimes when I pracitce the part of my palm by my thumb (not sure about the actual name) gets really sore and painful, like it's being worked out intensely. Does anyone else have this problem?? It's really annoying and hurts a lot, which stops me from practicing. Any solutions??

Thanks
Scott

Hey, I have that same problem, it hurts in the heel of my thumb like you said but also in my hand, in the muscle between the thumb and forefinger Personally i think that it might be using thin mallet shafts. I use Malletech birch shaft mallets , and my hands hurt. When i use thicker shafts my hands dont hurt but thats my opinion. I dont know. Good luck e-mail me if you find a remedy. Thank you.
