As a player with past arm problems, I found the stiffness of the V1Pro was not bothersome, however the balance was.

I've playtested the C10 Pro, Organix 8s,9,10, and the V1 Pro. I found the lowest powered stick by far to be the Organix 9. Can't speak for the current Super G version, but that might be even more so, given the tighter string pattern.

I too have found that heavier racquets (no matter the flex) tended to aggravate my GE during SW forehands, serves, and overheads. I would also advise against using barbells during weightlifting exercises, and using a neutral grip (palms facing each other) during presses, pulls, and curls...

Anyone care to comment on why the feedback of the PS97's stiffness/comfort in this thread is in such contrast with TW's review and opinions? An 84 for comfort and 3 out of the 4 reviewers listed 'comfort, forgiving, and arm-friendly' in their 'Likes'.

IMO it's squarely in the middle- less than the PD/POGOS, but more than the POG100/PS85. The C10 will feel quite different from a PD, due to the contrast in weight/balance/stiffness. I second STW's suggestion of the PCT, it felt a bit more solid to me than the POG100 when hitting the type of...

Thanks for the insight. I'm in agreement with you about the heaviness of a frame possibly aggravating GE. In my experience, in addition to static weight, a frame that is not head-light enough can contribute to the issue. But that may be just specific to my particular semi-western forehand swing.

Would the difference alter the methodology in choosing/avoiding certain frames or specs? Curious, because I've had intermittent symptoms of GE in the past (aggravated by non-tennis activities), and found that frames and specs usually recommended for people with TE weren't always more comfortable...

+1, this is what came to mind when reading OP's post

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try. My only fear is that the 17g won't last long for me, but at that price point I wouldn't mind, if I end up liking it. I agree- durability aside, DNA has a nice blend of characteristics that I haven't found in most other multis. I've been...

Mikeler/Ramon, given that you both hold Dunlop DNA in relatively high regard, what strings would you say compare favorably with DNA in terms of the combination of feel, comfort, spin, power? TW does not have inventory of DNA 16 currently, so I'm looking at possible alternatives.

I believe demos are strung at mid-tension +2lbs.

Don't think the aforementioned PDR, APD, and Blade suggestions qualify as 'elbow friendly' as per OP's request...I do second the suggestions of the IG Rad Pro and V1 Pro: I found the IG Rad Pro had tremendous pop, but for me that power combined with its flex made it a bit more unpredictable...

Dunlop F 3.0 Tour or Tec 315 Ltd 18M might be options as well, in terms of similar feel you're looking for. Would need to add a bit more weight.

Any comments with regards to its arm-friendliness?
