Tennis Racquets for Arm Pain Explained in Detail, Tennis String Too!
Vantage Bast Core frames are new on the tennis-racquet scene! Incredibly soft and arm friendly, Vantage Bast Core racquets have a great combination of feel, control, and power. It is very rare to find thin beamed, control oriented frames that offer this much power. And if you’re looking for some arm relief, the Bast Core Frames are the softest frames you can buy. The open string patterns provide plenty of spin (for those of you who hit with spin). There are 3 frames in the Bast Core Series: 95 sq inches/319 grams, 100 and 105 sq inches both at 309 grams. All are very headlight and maneuverable. 4.0 and above players get the most out of these frames. Price: 95 sq” 200.00 100 sq ” 210.00 105 sq” 220.00.
Solinco is a new brand that appeared on the scene in 2010. They have some unique high quality strings that are among our best sellers. For players looking for tremendous spin potential and durability, Solinco has a few strings that we think are exceptional. Tour Bite is a six-sided fairly soft playing polyester string. Players who use this string comment on the amount of spin and control they get. Revolution is six-sided and plays slightly firmer than Tour Bite. Both strings come in 4 gauges: 1.15, 1.20, 1.25 and 1.30.
We constantly hear about tennis players that complain about arm, elbow or wrist pain. Many times these problems can be contributed to bad technique. But often improper equipment is the culprit.
Racquets that are too light and too stiff cause your arm to absorb too much shock. A racquet that is too light is also very unstable and causes you to squeeze the handle harder than you should. This causes undo strain on your arm.
A few of the best-selling and most popular frames are notorious arm breakers. Just because you like the colors and it’s a replica of what you’re favorite player uses does not mean it’s for YOU!
In general heavier, more flexible, head lighter frames are much more arm friendly. Of course this varies from player-to-player. Please be open-minded about this. Most racquet companies are just trying to sell you racquets. This is a quote from a nationally known racquet and string technician who does the equipment testing for one of the most popular tennis magazines in history. “Go to each company’s website and read about their technology. But don’t believe everything you read. There are a lot of good paint jobs out there.”
