arm friendly

Hello everyone I have 2 rackets and a tournament is coming up. It doesn't matter which racket I'm playing with since my technique is still developing. However atm I have elbow pain. So I wonder which of my rackets would be more arm friendly to use? Yonex Vcore Pro 100 280 gr. L2 Wilson Blade...

Hello everyone, I've started playing tennis 10 months ago, my technique is still developing. I am a person who is very paranoid about injuries so I am looking to buy a racket which is easy on my elbow and wrist. I've had wrist and elbow pain before. So let me summarize my history. Started...

Hello all, been a long time follower of these threads and reading as much as I can. Realized my arm can’t handle poly anymore, or maybe it never could haha. Anyways, I’m looking to switch to a poly multi hybrid. I play a 98 yonex vcore 305g weighted up with a leather grip and 2g lead at the top...

I have looked at TW reviews of Hyper G Soft and Luxilon Alu Power Soft, which I’m considering to buy. The reviewers say that the Hyper G Soft is quite arm-friendly, and that the strings should be re-strung after around 3 weeks. The reviewers say that Alu Power Soft is stiffer than Hyper G Soft...

Hi, This is my first message on the forum. I would need help in my search for a new racket. About me I'm French 33 Not in the best shape possible, but OK :) Tennis background I've been playing tennis since I was little but not frequently since I was 18. I started playing frequently again a...

Been stupidly playing full bed BK 16g (21kg) in Vcore 95 for a solid 6-month period and my bicep tendon is asking me to switch things up. I'll be using Velocity MLT 16g for the time being. But as I was thinking of transitioning back to BK, I'd like some opinions on some of the hybrid setups...

I'm a complete beginner who just started tennis coaching about a month ago. I do have arm problems from playing Badminton previously, so I've decided to get the Wilson Clash 100 for its low stiffness. Now I'm confused about which string to get for it. I do not have a whole bunch of options, but...

Hi, A big thanks to the community. Please help me chose a string. I am in the rabbit hole and not being able to make a decision. I am a rec 3.5 player and play around 3 hours a week. I am looking for strings for my VCP 97 (310) which should be easy on my arms and durable as well. Since VCP is a...

Hello! I need your help. I love the Ashway Monogut zX strings for softness and spin. My problem is I break them every 3-4 hours! I have a sensitive elbow and I love the arm friendly nature of Monogut. I-also love the spin! Can someone recommend another similar option that’s more durable!?!?

Hey there and thanks in advance for any guidance! I've been demoing racquets for a while and have finally narrowed it down to the Yonex EZONE 98 and Head Gravity MP. Pretty different racquets, I know. Anyway, the demos I've been playing with both have multifilament strings on them. I have some...

Hello all, I am a 67 year old looking for a racquet recommendaion. I have been playing tennis for over 30 years and had to give up tennis a couple of years ago due to injuries. I have/had knee problems, tennis elbow, wrist injury and a rotating cuff tear. I have recovered enough to play now but...

Hi all. I'm in my late 40's, 5.0/5.5 level, and had rotator cuff surgery last year. Play with a Wilson 95 BLX One. Looking for advice on a good soft string pattern. Played with cheap polys my whole life due to ignorance! Recently changed to Polyfibre black venom mains and Head Rip Control cross...

Hi guys, I used to use Babolat PS 98 po07, but now have bought the new generation PS 98 16x19. But the racket is still too stiff and I'm thinking about changing the racket for the next season. My setup currently is 314g and 315 balance unstrung(the third generation with 32 balance was too head...

Hi everyone, First post with a question for anyone who has or has had tennis elbow: what racquet would you recommend? I am trying to cast a bit of a wide net and gather as much info/thoughts as possible. I had had a few suggestions from one of the play testers and wanted a few more data...

Need advice here. My son got his first full-size racquet (Wilson UL100) last year, and the pro shop racquet specialist, who saw him hit, set him up with Wilson Revolve, I think 17 gauge (I didn't know enough tennis to state a preference). When we got the Revolve cut out, a different stringer...

Anyone have any suggestions on bicep friendly tennis racquets? I'm currently thinking about changing my current racquets out for some new ones. In 2005 I tore my bicep and got poor medical help and never got therapy until recently. I've loosened the tension of my strings I run a hybrid setup...

Hey everyone, So I'm looking to find a string that fits my flatter-hitting style while I tend to some arm soreness. Natural gut is too powerful, but I've liked NRG2 16's very consistent play and higher playability duration and NXT 16's excellent feel and control while it lasts. I had...

I have a question about leather grips and their impact on passing on the vibration to your arms. I had bought an RF97A and was playing with it with the stock stick, no customizations. But I couldn't take the vibration OR the fact that I was developing some hardened skin issues on my hand (as...

I'm a 4.0 player (4.5 serve, 3.5 groundstrokes). For about 18 months, I've had golf elbow. Not debilitating at first, but getting worse- especially over the last 6-8 months. I've had the cortisone shots and done the physical therapy, with only moderate success. I've been playing a full poly...
