Wrist/elbow problem with new racquets...

[MrAWD]

I wasn't sure if this should go to the Racquet forum or here, so I add it to both. Here is the link of the original thread:

Please help if you know how!

Thanks a lot!!

Hi Marius,

Yes I am aware (now) of the issues with the FXP Tour and that is why I don't have it any more. Now the real issue is with the LM version of the MP Radical that plays so nicely and it is supposedly even better for arm then the i.Radical series, but my results are completely opposite.

Could it be that extra grip size is creating some of my problems? I mean if I start to feel the pain with LM, how come that immediate switching to the old racquet stops all of the pain like it never was there in the first place, especially when those two racquets are so close in every way?

Thanks

From Head, I'm only playing with PC600. My usual racquet is a 6.0 85 though.

The opinions on old/new Radicals and Prestiges are very contradictory.

If you listen to Deuce, the PC600 is better than Instinct and Instinct is better than LM. Thus there!

I suggest to read on my recommendations on rackets and to select a Volkl or PK.

Also, I am not sure what strings are you using, what tension, etc. Recommend multis, in the lower range. 67 lbs is too much.

Marius, I was hoping to get your opinion on the PC 600. I normally use POGs but with TW carrying PCs, I was thinking about getting one to play around with. Would it be a waste of $180? I well aware of it's great reputation. I've played with the POG and the 6.0, but not the 600.

That 67 lb is for my old i.Radical racquet. The new LM Radical MP version has Head Intellitour 16 strung at 62 lb.

Marius,

Question about that 600 that you mentioned. Do they make 4 1/8 size handle or the smalles one is 4 1/4? I am afraid that part of the problems that I have with the LM Radical MP is due to the grip being too large...

Thanks

Not sure about PC600 in that grip size. Anyway, BOTH too large and too small grips can cause wrist and elbow problems.
