[quote=hersito;7177296]As I told you, string it with multi at around 54 and your arm problem will go away /QUOTE]

Good advice above.....

Lead at 3/9, replace the rubber grip with leather grip and intellitour or natural gut strung mid range or lower.

If you still have a problem with injury IMHO you can eliminate the racket if set up as I describe.

I have converted to the MG Rad MP and for the first time since I started playing tennis 4 years ago, I haven't switched for over 6 months. This racquet is simply incredible and makes my APDC, Dunlop300T, Dunlop200Lite, K6.1 90, Pure storm GT and about 20 other racquets I've used just above par.

My spec's if you want to try it - which is similar to most modified MG Radical MPs are

add 12 grams of silicon in the handle (Softens its up)
add 2+2 grams in at 3 & 9 (for stability)
+ overgrip + dampener.
I string it with Pro Line II 17 gauge and now it weighs 337grams and and has a 320mm balance which equates to about 7pt HL.
It still swings super quick like an Aeropro drive but control is still unbelievable
Everyone one is right here. It doesnt have much power but the control is K6.1 90 like but with a much bigger sweetspot for forgiveness.

I own a Radical MP 'bumble bee', LM Radical, Radical MG Pro, Radical IG Pro & have demo'ed the Youtek Radical MP and iRadical MP, and this one is the best in my books.

Well done Head.

Really REally nice setup! I had almost the same, but instead of silicone i bought one gripsize smaller and installed a grip enlarging heat shrink tube to get the extra 12-15 grams. I thought the Radical already was so soft and solid that with silicone it would almost be to dampend.

An update:

I changed the original string with WILSON NXT MAX 16G , at 57 and the pain did go away.

Today I played 4 hours, no pain.

Thank you for the advice.
