Here are some tips about what to do about tennis
elbow.
To alleviate a temporarily sore shoulder, elbow or
wrist, a player can modify their racquet to absorb vibration. Try the following:
String towards the lower end of the recommended
tension range for your racquet. A looser string face will absorb more of the ball's
impact. A looser face will also add depth to shots without a full-powered swing.
Try a thicker string.
Try adding lead tape to increase the racquet's
overall mass. Adding weight will help reduce the amount of shock transmitted to the arm
and hand.
Check with your pro to see that your grip size is
correct for your hand. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the handle size.
Correct grip size can be an important factor in eliminating tennis elbow.
Vibration dampeners generally have no effect on
amount of vibration to your elbow. All they really do is make the racquet sound and feel
different.
