I read something a while back that was the same for hockey. When you see NHL players passing the puck around the average person has no idea the incredible wrist and arm strength required to make and take those passes.

I think it might have been a reddit thread where a commenter said that a guy came and played on their rec league that had played semi-pro hockey (maybe AHL) and even then nobody on the team could handle his passes. The commenter said it felt like his wrists were going to break.
