Racquet Recommendations for a Petite Female Beginner Player with RA

Semi-Pro
The beginner player is 5'2",130 lbs female, with a rheumatoid arthritis which is treated and under control, and generally weak.

I am looking for a recommendation for a frame that offers a high-comfort/low stress on joints, but also enough power to support a reasonable recreational play?

Please advise.
 
The Angell 105in may be a good option. No real ability to demo, but it's guaranteed to be comfortable and you could help her choose the specs.

Not anymore expensive than a mainstream new racket, and if you sign up for their email distro you'll get an email back for a 10% discount off your first order!

Ti.S6 or Ti.S5CZ in the proper grip size. You may want to get a smaller grip size and replace the grip with a anti-shock Gel grip, which will build the grip back up. RA is a problem Da GF has, so I am very careful about her equipment and grips.

More expensive options would include OS frames from PK and Volkl. If you go this option, you will not need to change out the grip.

Thanks for this tip. Did not know about the gel grips.
