It may have one or more causes. Bad technique, stiff racquet and strings, inappropriate racquet and grip, lower quality stringing, prolonged repetition of certain movements are all known suspects.
3What is the first thing to do when your elbow starts hurting?
The first step is to immediately pause any action that hurts. Rest is of outmost importance. A specialized doctor’s advice is recommended.
4How important is the racquet and the quality of the stringing?
If your racquet is stiff, too light or too heavy or poorly strung you have a lot more chances to end up with a sore elbow. Harsh feel, trampoline effect or wobbling during impact are all signs that something goes wrong. If your experience any of the above please contact us.
