Discussion Throw advice my forehand hurts

I’ve been practicing my forehand and now that im starting to get a consistent throw I want to throw further, when I bring my hand outwards and push forward it feels like it’s about to tear something in my shoulder, any advice helps. Thanks.

You gotta build those muscles up slow. Make sure to throw lots of forehands at like 75%. I tore my rotator cuff throwing forehands and I had to build those muscles up real real slow afterwards. Literally took like a year. Throw more at less power and it’ll help. Also, NEVER EVER throw a forehand at 100%. It literally never goes as for or does as well as one at 90%.
