Tennis Elbow

[Chris Stott]

Mine was caused by hitting the mat, not thin grips... I was obsessed with golf at the time, and would hit anythng up to 1,000 balls a week at the range after .

Oh, also meant to say... good luck to the OP, hope you manage to get it sorted!

Should have tried increasing the thickness of your grip tape.

Does that work ?.
I have just developed TE from...playing tennis !. Play at reasonable level, teams etc, and have just swapped my strings out from kevlar at 59lbs for hybrid mono at 55lbs, with new racquets BLX Pro Open , heavier at 300gms with head light at -7.
Apparently a good mix, and arm is showing an improvement when playing. Wear an aircast gel band also. We'll see.

Yes it does, I developed TE from Kayaking and it stopped mine, takes a bit of getting used to though.

A friend thought he had tennis elbow . Self diagnosed though.He started with it just as he joined my badminton group.First time he play he did a slam shot then collapsed in pain. He ended up going to hospital to have an op they found a shard of bone growing over his elbow joint when he did the slam shot he snaped it off .The shard was about 2 inchs long .
