Youtek Prestige MP vs. IG MP

[PKfan1]

I recently switched from the YT prestige mp to PK redondo because I was getting terrible tennis elbow, even after trying a bunch of hybrids. All the elbow pain went away, but I don't like the overly flexy feel on serves and at net with the Redondo (groundies are heavenly though).

I just tried playing with my YT this morning freshly restrung with Black widow(normally use BHB7 but I feel this is more arm friendly), and immediately after serving I felt it in my elbow. Although I had the pain my volleys were 10x better and my serve had way more pop, which is exactly what I need to play better doubles.

I like the IG mid and it doesn't give me any elbow trouble, but I need the bigger headsize for playing double as my hands aren't that great.
Has anyone gotten elbow problems with YT mp but switched to IG MP and found it to be more arm friendly?

Demo the Prince EXO3 Tour, I have one and it is very arm friendly even with a full bed poly.

Thanks for the suggestion but I find the feel and specs of the prestiges perfect for me. I was really surprised when I felt the pain in my elbow as the racquet did not feel harsh at all, it must just be an odd frequency given off by the composition of the frame.
I know it's not the weight or anything like that because my redondos are much heavier (370g) and higher swingweight.

I tried 20g of silicone in the YT to try and dampen the vibration, but it didn't solve the problem.

Please if anyone has anything to say about the IG MP let me know.

Try a soft multi (like Head RIP Control 17 or Technifibre X1 Biphase) into your Prestige if you have elbow problems. You might add lead at 3 and 9 as well for more shock absorption.

I agree with this although I did find the IG version of the Prestige MP to be softer and more stable in feel.

Try very low tensions on your ytpmp if you can.
I´m playing with this frame and i´m using an hibrid (WC Scorpion and WC explosiv) at very low tension (low 40´s or even high 30´s) and i´ve to say it feels fantastic:
I get a bigger swetspot, much more power and lots of comfort.

The last week i broke strings on 2 racquets and tried to go back to higger tensions (55 lb w/ the same hibrid) but, honestly, feels like **** !!! Was like a totally diferent frame: can hit with the same deep and the sweetspot have been reduced a lot...I´ll go back to very low tension soon...
