Preventing Tennis Elbow
Introduction
Preventing tennis elbow is far better than treating it. This painful condition affects thousands of players each year, but several strategies can significantly reduce your risk.Choosing the Right Equipment
Selecting the proper equipment is crucial. Follow these guidelines when choosing a tennis racquet:1. Test Different Racquets: Try out various racquets and seek advice from your coach or a knowledgeable salesperson.
2. Opt for Graphite: Graphite racquets reduce vibration and offer better torque control.
3. Avoid Oversized Racquets: Despite a larger sweet spot, oversized racquets can cause excessive torque, increasing the risk of injury.
4. Flexible Frames: Choose a racquet with a flexible frame to minimize the chances of injury.
5. Balanced Weight: A heavier racquet vibrates less. Opt for one with a heavier handle rather than a heavier head.
6. Proper String Tension: Keep the string tension at the lower end of the recommended specification and use synthetic nylon. Restring every few months.
Improving Your Technique
Enhancing your technique is essential in preventing tennis elbow:1. Professional Lessons: Invest in lessons from a qualified instructor who can focus on technique, weight transfer, and maintaining stability in the chest, neck, and shoulders.
2. Warm-Up Exercises: Properly warm up with gradual wrist stretches. Consult an expert for recommended exercises.
3. Proper Stroke Technique:
- Start your backhand from the shoulder, not the forearm.
- Bend your forearm on forehand shots to transfer the force to your biceps and shoulder, reducing strain on the elbow.
- Keep your arm bent when serving to distribute shock away from the elbow.
Additional Tips
- Ball Condition: Avoid using heavy or damp balls, especially on clay courts. Regularly replace them to prevent injury.- Spin Control: Limit topspin on groundstrokes to reduce stress on the elbow.
By following these guidelines, you can significantly lower your risk of developing tennis elbow, allowing you to enjoy the game with fewer concerns.
