tennis elbow

I do not know where things are in 2024 for causes of Tennis Elbow. Stop playing immediately when you are injured. A tendon injury may have defective healing in a very short time when stressed. 2-3 weeks. See thread Tendon Injury Nuthouse. I posted on these subjects in the past. Here is...

Just like title says, first time in my recreational playing career (4.0 player) that I've ever gotten tennis elbow. I've been experimenting like crazy the last few years with sticks and strings setups to understand what I like and don't like. 99% of the time I'm playing doubles. I grew up...

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...

Indeed, the newest Black Ace line is not for everybody. It's relatively low powered, but I simply love the old-school feel. I own a modded 315, the 300 (for feeding and working with students, only), and the Pro and have been seeking as many 315s as I can get in the classifieds in size 4 or 5...

Hi friends! Long story long I played 4 years of D1 college tennis (graduated in 2021) and I absolutely loved my Yonex Ezone 98 Tour for my final 2 ish years (6th Gen, the bright blue one that’s a model before the current ezone models, played with the Speed Graphene XT Pro prior to that but...

My dad is in his 60´s right now. He’s suffering from a relatively light tennis elbow (I say that because it doesn’t affect him in his daily life but only when he plays tennis). He’s playing with a power racquet (artengo tr990 power pro) with a mono (it came pre-strung with an artengo string idk...

I just got tennis elbow recently. I am using Blade 16x19 with all poly. My doctor, who is also a good player, suggested that I change to two-handed backhand. I want to try some more arm-friendly racquets with multi/gut strings. If they don't work I might consider changing to two-hand backhand...

Hello, unrated club player here, ohbh, play mostly doubles, like to get points over quickly by getting to the net and being aggressive, I'm no baseline slugger. Maybe 3.5 I'm not sure. I've been really enjoying the rad 360+ mp since the spring, but I'm getting minor wrist and te pain even with...

Strung specs of the racket are: Head Size: 119 in / 767.74 cm Length: 27.5in / 69.85cm Strung Weight:9.6oz / 272g Balance: 13.85in / 35.18cm / 1 pts HH Swingweight: 321 Beam Width: 28mm / 28mm / 28mm String Tension: 50-65 pounds My plan is to use a multifilament at around 65 pounds tension to...

Dear All, This is the first thread i'm posting in this Forum and i hope i'll be as much clear and straight forward regarding my issue. First of all, thank you all for your time and appreciate your future help and advice on this matter. I'm 28 years old. Played tennis during 10 years, and...

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...

Hi all, here's a little background to my tennis journey so far (been playing for three years) Racket 1: Started off with a Wilson Pro Staff Six.One BLX 100 (65 RA) strung with Kevlar strings (no idea the tension) and played alright with it, felt my elbows were sore after some sessions but...

Howdy! My current racquet of choice is the Babolat Pure Strike 3rd gen 16x19, which I absolutely love but am currently looking for an alternative racquet due to starting to feel some arm soreness/tingling at the elbow area and I'm afraid of developing a tennis elbow down the line. I'm a 4.0...

I don’t claim for this to be a definitive guide on the tennis elbow problems and solutions. Contrary, it is a personal testament, based on my (pretty methodical) self-observation, data collection and isolated cause-effect analysis. For impatient (tl;dr; ) — the main culprits were a) pressurless...

Just wanted to post this here in the hope that it will help players who have sensitive elbows, or are looking for a good co-poly that will help prevent tennis elbow. When I got tennis elbow, it was from playing with a Babolat Pure Aero 2016 and hybrid of Volkl Cyclone 16 / GOSM 16 at 45/49# for...

I was diagnosed with mild tennis elbow (although when I play tennis it doesn't feel mild at all). I am already having medical help and I'm better know, but tried tennis and the pain came back. The thing is, I just want to know if there are success cases? Anyone of you had tennis elbow and was...

While working to heal my elbow, I found this excellent paper on the differences between tendinosis (micro-tears) and tendinitis (inflammation). Key takeaways: - tendinosis is often confused for tendinitis with tendinosis likely being far more prevalent than previously believed. - tendinosis...

I am resting my tennis elbow now over the winter break and I have started with total rest combined with some icing, some heat, some compression and voltaren gel. My question is - should I start first with total rest, and then do some exercises once the lateral epicondyle (where it attaches to...

Hey Guys, I did a video about how I customize my racket. I started down this path due to problems with tennis elbow but now I can't go back :) Let me know what you think and if you guys do something similar. Seems like adding weight is a 3rd rail topic for amateur players but the norm for...

Hi all, I've been playing with a Pure Drive since I can remember. Currently playing with a Pure Drive 2017 in 16x19 (300g). I have always played with Babolat Pro Hurricane strings, usually at 25kg. Recently (think past few months), I have started to feel pain in my left arm (am a lefty) very...

I am susceptible to Tennis Elbow. ONSET: It recently flared up as light stiffness in the forearm 3 weeks ago. SEVERITY: Mild. I can play without pain, but the elbow/forearm "feels it" after playing. There is mild discomfort on some forehands. BACKGROUND: I am 55. Started playing 3x per week...

Hey, forum! I was practicing intensely for my tryouts coming up (August 2nd) and got one handed tennis elbow 6 days ago in my right hand from weighttraining+intense tennis sessions. The tennis elbow is very mild, does not hurt most of the time, but will feel some pain if I do some activity with...

A week ago I finished painting a fence with a power sprayer. Then I played tennis almost every day (some of it was just practicing serve or tutoring my family). Then, two days ago I started feeling it in my elbow. Not extremely painful but uncomfortable. I got me that elbow brace last night...

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...

At some point I had a slight problem with tennis elbow. It was nothing too big. After a few hours of playing, I was feeling a slight pinch in my elbow. I started using diclofenac and ibuprofen to avoid complication. But I knew I had to do some changes. I went up with the weight. 415 gr. then...

I'have just gotten an unstrung Babolat PureStrike 98 (18x20). While looking at some stringing recommendations, I ran into a discouraging pattern where people initially praise the racket for its play performance (it is one of the highest rated rackets on TW, rated at 89), but then I see...

Hi TW forums. I'm a 5.5NTRP (UTR 10.50) and have experienced tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) pretty much ever since I began serving over 110mph about 4 years ago. I say serving because my tennis elbow only occurs when I try to hit above 110 (max speed 128 recorded recently). I can rally...

I grip the racket way too tightly, especially on my forehand, which I believe reduces my racket head speed and also sometimes leads to tennis elbow flare-ups. I've been doing this for years, so it is difficult to stop. Anyone have any pointers for drills or exercises to help train myself to...

First post; joined TT so I could ask this question. Thanks in advance for all replies. I recently broke my Yonex Ezone DR 98 (lime version from a couple of years ago), decided to demo a bunch of different racquets, and found that, much to my surprise, I played the best tennis of my life with...

I recently bought a Venom compression sleeve to wear while playing, to help with my elbow pain. It helps tremendously, but the upper arm portion is not tight enough. If I got the next size smaller, the lower arm part would be too tight. My upper arm circumference is no greater than my lower arm...
