If you are struggling with tenniselbow I recommend that you give these 6 tennisrackets, I talk about in the video, a try.
I am not a doctor and if you currently have a problem with a tenniselbow please talk to your doctor.
These rackets are NO cure, but they certainly CAN help.

Which racket would you add or did help you with your tenniselbow? My dad switched to the Gravity MP from the Speed MP and his got way better :)

[@svlagonda7417]

Prince ATS range are pretty comfortable. ProKennex too. Personally, I find ProKennex a bit too soft and muted but each to their own.

[@servingaces]

@@svlagonda7417 heard about both! Have yet to test them

[@bobmurphy3061]

I use the clash 100 with either a multi or gut. Been playing tennis since 1965 and suffered tennis elbow with the advent of stiff frames and poly strings. I haven’t had an elbow or wrist issue since I switched 2 years ago. I agree, it’s a stable frame with decent power.

[@teniscoraisdepontanegra]

Here in Brazil they talk a lot about the Wilson Clash and the Volkl V1 EVO. I've been using a super oversized one (Gamma Big Bubba 29") for 6 years and I had tennis elbow because of the Hyper G string. I changed the string, treated the elbow and I'm still going with no complaints! Thank you!

[@CR4WLFC]

Clash 100. Easy to use. Decent stability. You will never get shoulder/wrist/elbow pain.

[@servingaces]

Yes absolutely o

[@teniscoraisdepontanegra]

I'm an intermediate player, I've been using a super oversize racket since 2018: Gamma Big Bubba 29", head 137sq. I've only had tennis elbow once, and because of a string: Hyper G. Furthermore, I've never had pain in my shoulders, fist, etc. I have more power in my strikes, average control, easier volleys and more spin in the effects, and thanks for the video !

[@bojack3827]

1. Avoid stiff racquets ie RA>65 2. Use the heaviest racquet that you can reasonably manage. 3. Avoid stiff poly strings, avoid shaped poly strings (as they notch), and restring frequently.

[@servingaces]

Absolutely right 👍

[@jean-pierreuys1554]

I am gonna throw a curveball here. If you look at like the Yonex Astrel range which is made for older players and for comfort their stiffness is 68/70 and other brands follow same specs. Then Pro-Kennex which are known as most comfortable has models with higher than 65 even 70. In my experience, struggling with arm comfort I think string should be the number one consideration with string tension. I used to play 49 pounds but I’m playing a racket now strong at 56 pounds. The difference has been the frame. cannot believe that I am having no arm issues at this tension. I am using a very arm, friendly string. I think the dampening or how the frame is made is a huge factor. All of the above I consider more important for comfort than stiffness. Based on those specs of some of those unfriendly rackets. Then I would say many times overlooked is technique. I change something in my technique at one point, and it resulted in arm issues and I was testing all sort of stuff but realized at the end that was the main problem.

[@jean-pierreuys1554]

If anyone is looking for a Polly, I found grapplesnake strings to be very comfortable. If I compare their shaped, Polly which is called GameChanger - is very comfortable. Add a lot of spin, which is close to hyper G. Hyper G destroys my elbow. even Hyper G soft is hard on my elbow. I am really impressed at the comfort levels of Grapplesnake. And its a copoly so plays like a poly.

[@juergenseng547]

ProKennex is King. You even don‘t need the underpowered legendary Black Aces. The KI 5 for example offers a even better Sweetspot than the Gravity MP, having far more Power and precision at the same time while being as comfortable as a Clash, which is erratic as hell. Therefore my choice an I love it.

[@rapidfirerob4]

I just got the Percept 97 and I'm a 4.0 level player. Great racket.

[@servingaces]

Fantastic 👌👍

[@user-by8tq8bb2v]

What about the grip size does it matter to? Which one you recommended for a attacking player?

[@BHandmade]

Head gravity, VCORE 98, blade 98, Percept 97 no clash ?

[@r-one.7078]

Great video 😄😄 , can you try the dunlop cx200 ?

[@servingaces]

thank you 🙏 I will try too

[@bodzislawfakjutu]

The guys from pH tennis, when reviewing vcore 98, said that the dwell time is very good and long handling, which allows for greater control over the ball. In your case, one of the criteria is a low dwell time for rackets that help with tennis elbow. So what's it like in the end? :)

[@beam6981]

Thanks for the video! I am considering getting the Yonex Ezone 98 or the 100…would you consider these arm friendly? Also, how would the ezone compare with the Yonex percept- playing-wise?

[@flysolo3899]

ezone 100 isn’t arm friendly

[@tedneanderthal7373]

The BEST racquets for tennis elbow sufferers are the ProKennex Black Ace (both the 300 and 315 gram versions) and the Prince Phantom 100 and 107G. I own a Black Ace 300 and its flexible head and Kinetic shock absorption system are THE BEST. The Prince Phantom line is also excellent - the racquets are very plush but the CTS design is a little less maneuverable and stable. (The racquets make up for this by being easy for spin generation.) I have both a Head Gravity S and a Gravity Lite (the original versions) and my arm is sore after playing with them though they play well. (I string them with multifilament Head Velocity 16 ga. string for added comfort - to no avail.) Many tennis elbow sufferers also have had success with the Wilson Clash which features a stiff head but a flexible shaft as well as excellent dampening. I have a Clash 108 v1 oversize and don't like its even balance which slows down my swing; the Prince Phantom 107G is better for my game and more comfortable.

[@gaussnet]

Great video!! Do you think Wilson Blade 100L could be an option too?

[@servingaces]

yeah I mean do not know the racket but it is kind of in the beginners category and when I look at the specs it could be a good one 👍

[@gaussnet]

Thanks@@servingaces Currently I play with a 280g racket. I feel iut fine but U wonder if I could handle something heavier such as 300g. Do you think is a big chance? my concern is the shoulder or wrist injury

[@servingaces]

@@gaussnet depends on how long you play and your skilllevel but the jump is noticeable

[@gppgle]

Wilson Clash is very arm-friendly.

[@servingaces]

absolutely 👍

[@kingofclay-te2ko]

Why no Pro Kennex? :)

[@servingaces]

I have heard of them and that they are made for that purpose almost but I did not play with one hopefully soon

[@danielrichards9783]

Pro Kennex are the best, but they are hard to find. I would look all over the U.S. because I had great luck with Pro Kennex.

[@LarzB]

If you haven't played with the rackets that are almost designed for this purpose you cannot make a video on which rackets are the best for tennis elbow. Pro kennex, donnay foam filled, technifibre tf40 line foam filled, clash, prince phantom line, Angell. All are better options than most of the rackets that you mentioned. Don't misunderstand me, i personally play with the gravity pro as my preferred racket and an angell and a dunlop cx200 tour 18x20 (all rackets with ra of around 60), but i don't have tennis elbow and if i would have i would suggest other rackets. Especially in the pro kennex family, but also low flex foam filled options. Next to that a low flex means a longer dwell time. Stiffer rackets have a shorter dwell time. I am not an expert on elbow friendly rackets, but your choices in this video is limited and flawed. There are some big head size Wilson rackets with the hoop detached from the neck of the racket with huge rubber pad in between, specifically made for people with elbow issues. Don't know the name.

[@shinyakawaguchi2243]

Which racket do you play right now?

[@servingaces]

I play with the gravity pro but my wrist could not handle the high swingweight anymore 😅 that is why I will switch

[@shinyakawaguchi2243]

@@servingacesWhich one are you looking to switch?

[@servingaces]

@@shinyakawaguchi2243 I switch to the Percept 97. 😊 Hope I get my rackets soon

[@tanders7976]

What is it that you prefer with Yonex percept 97 over head Gravity pro ?

[@servingaces]

it is just easier to play for me with the same amount of feel and control almost I love the gravity but as I am not playing with it as much anymore because I am testing , it is just too demanding for my wrist and forearm

[@tanders7976]

Alright do you costomize percept 97 and if how or you play it in stock ?

[@servingaces]

@@tanders7976 currently in testing phase probably use some lead to up the swingweight to 325 or something

[@TunaStrata]

Why do you want to improve your tennis elbow?

[@CH-yp5by]

Pfffft why worrry about the racquet ??? lol The main issue is the string setup thats type of sting and tension, save your money, keep your racquet and change your string setup !

[@servingaces]

sure the string is a big factor but you cannot make a stiff and heavy racket armfriendly without sacrificing the whole playability of course you can decrease it

[@svlagonda7417]

The racquet is as big a factor if not bigger than the string. A 74RA racquet is typically thick beamed and powerful. The ball is going to fly to moon if you put a soft string in that...

[@servingaces]

@@svlagonda7417 true 👍 you can decrease it only to a certain degree with a string

[@user-by8tq8bb2v]

What about the grip size does it matter to? Which one you recommended for a attacking player?

[@servingaces]

absolutely if it is too small - you have to grip it more tightly which can inhance inflammation in the elbow if it is too big - you have also need more strength in the forearm with the same outcome It is not a player type thing. It really depends on your hand size and what is comfortable for you 😊 I play with a two grip size! Fit me best as I have smaller hands 🙌
