My 10 year old son had an elbow injury about two years ago which seemed to have been related to a tennis racket-Babolat Drive. When my son switched to Wilson Pro Staff (about the same weight), he was just fine.
Now, my son has been alright for 2 years since the time he was hurt on his elbow, and he has done great given the enormous workload that I have assigned for him this year. However, he began complaining about his elbow last week after 3 days-9 hours' practice with a pro coach (for the first time in about a year and a half or so). Hard to blame the coach whom i personally know well enough so i do not know in which direction to point my fingers in. The boy's been using the same racket and strings. Could it be that the tennis racket is too light (270 grams Wilson Pro Staff) for the balls are coming at him faster/harder than before?
