It is common to get a strain in your forearm from the motion of flipping your wrist, such as the most when throwing the ball and snapping your wrist. If you have proper shooting form in Basketball you will notice the discomfort in your forearm playing basketball as well. By taping it up, much like taping a hamstring or any other muscle, you can decrease the discomfort
