strain

[Nathan Mckane]

Is there anything wrong with the following sentence made by me :

He strained the water off his wet pants by wringing them.

Thanks,

"Off" implies getting the water off the surface of his pants. He wants all the water out of them.

Thanks,

In terms of physics, wringing pants is applying a strain to them. But I wouldn't say this in ordinary English.
Why not just, "He wrung the water out of his pants." or even "He wrung out his pants".

The reason I wouldn't use 'strain' here is that 'straining water out of something' is a different domestic process. For example, you strain water out of rice by pouring it through a strainer.
