I have been using PK 5G due to continuing bouts of tennis elbow (more than a year now). I bought this racket from TW to help manage my TE.
I bought a Head Radical Agassi Limited Edition based on TW review (http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Reviews/AGRAD/AGRADReview.html).
For Comfort, this racket was given 80, which is higher compared to PK KI5 which only has 78 rating for comfort (http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Reviews/KI5/KI5Review.html).
So instead of buying PK KI5 i bought the Head Radical Agassi LE large based on TW Comfort rating of 80. Dang!! What a mistake!! The Head Radical was so harsh on my arms i immediately cut the polyester string it was pre-strung with (Head UltraTour 16L).
I bought a multi (Head Intellitour 17G) strung at 40 lbs. I will now test it and see if the strings makes a difference.
Again, my question is: When TW rates a racket for Comfort, what criteria do they use? Is it arm-friendliness? If it is not, then those with TE should not rely on the Comfort rating at all.
