Suggestions on new racquet

[TennisPlayer4Life]

I am looking for a new racquet, and would like suggestions. The reason I want to a new racquet is because I am starting to get tennis elbow.

I am currently playing with a babolat pure drive stretch and love the power off the racquet. I have been using this for about 4-6 weeks, and the tennis elbow started this week.

I used to play with the Head liquidmetal racquet and loved the spin I am able to get off of it.

I am primarly a doubles player, and play the net but with the babolat I have been able to go baseline for baseline with a player using topspin-(I used to hit slice all the time).

I don't know if I need lead tape on the racquet, if I do then where should i put it? People have said that this racquet is already heavy enough.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks,

#1) Stop using poly strings. (How do I know you are using poly? Let's call it an educated guess.)

If #1 does not apply:

#2) Search this forum for arm-friendly racquets. I can certainly name a few, like most of the Pro Kennex or Prince EXO3 racquets, but there are a lot more, and this forum is filled with plenty of discussions on them. I had TE with the Babolat APDGT and poly strings, but when I switched to the Pro Kennex Ki 5x and multifilament strings my elbow was fully recovered in a few weeks.

The blade 104 is a very maneuverable frame, flexible so it isn't hard on the arm and is easy to use at the net-- great for volleys. I'd recommend demoing it and some other arm-friendly racquets and seeing what you like.
