Maybe I'm the odd duck here, but any time I use a thin-beamed/flexy racquet, I have elbow pain. Ultra Tour, Vcore Pro 97, any Prince Phantom, K7 Lime, Clash, etc. However, I don't experience any arm pain when I play with thick-beamed/stiff racquets. Pure Strike, Pure Aero, Pure Drive, Graphene Radical Pro, etc. My current setup is a Pure Strike Team w/ 2g at 12, 4g total at 3&9, dampener, and then 24g in the handle + an OG (around 340g strung if I remember correctly). Strung with Head Hawk Touch 17 @ 54 lbs. Doesn't cause me any pain whatsoever, and I had read all over the forums and in the reviews that anything with Babolat written on it was a one-way ticket to arm pain. The "plushest" racquet I've hit with is the Ultra Tour weighted up to about 345g, but I'm 100% serious when I say that even with a hybrid of NXT and Alu, I had arm pain. Anyone else experience this backwards-ness?
