Too big or too small can.

This article seems to indicate that grip size "within reason" does not lead to TE: http://ajs.sagepub.com/content/34/12/1977.abstract

could be one a reason, but no the reason, technique, overloading, grip, string setup, weight.

I'd say it's actually a little too big for you.

Borderline between normal and too big. Definitely not too small.

I pretty much play with soft multis and synthetics. I don't play around polys ot trendy strings very often.
LOL- its a 4 1/4! I do have small hands being only 5'7" but still. I used to play with a 4 5/8 back in the day.
looks fine to me... much of it is personal preference anyways, i'm a little taller and use a 4 1/2 (just to give u some idea). as long as it dont slip around or find yourself gripping tighter should be ok. perhaps cuz i have more of an eastern grip i prefer a lil bigger, i notice SW grippers usually dont mind smaller esp since its the current trend for supposed increase bat speed but i dont feel the benefit or comfort.

The grip looks fine the hand is too small. Sorry I had to say that. Here is a picture of my grip. It is a 4 1/2 grip with a heat shrink tube and overwrap. Comes to almost a 4 3/4 grip.
I don't have any elbow problems and never have except when I first started for a while.
