I've searched a lot of here and seen a variety of feedback on elbow pain. I wanted to get some feedback on my situation ...
I recently switched from the APDC+ to the K90 Tour and really love the racket and feel I play a bit better with the K90 but have had elbow pain crop up since the switch. I've read varying things on the length the pain lasts. Some have said my body may need to adjust to the new frame, others say it will not get any better. I string the K90 with very arm friendly string at 52 lbs. so I tend to think it may be an adjustment period for my body getting used to a very different frame than I have been using. I do play a very aggressive topspin game and do not have Federer precision (I'm a 5.0 NTRP) as far as hitting the sweetspot so I'm sure it is harsh on my elbow partially due to off-center hits.
I can easily go back to the Babolat rackets and sell the K90 but what I'm wondering is how long is this adjustment period? Has anyone experienced this situation and if so how long before your arm got used to the new frame and the elbow pain subsided? Thoughts/advice/recommendations?
