🎾 Tennis Elbow & Strings – What You Need to Know
Just so we're clear, if you have tennis elbow, changing your strings won't get rid of it. It will help to reduce the vibration that you experience which can in turn reduce the pain.
If you already have tennis elbow, changing your strings won’t cure it—but it can help reduce pain by lowering vibration. Your best options are rest or seeing a physiotherapist.
That said, strings can help prevent tennis elbow. But remember, strings are just one part of the equation. Other key factors include:
Racket type: Lightweight, head-heavy, thick-framed, or stiff rackets transfer more shock.
Grip size: Too small or too large grips cause twisting or strain.
Technique: Poor form increases the risk—consider seeing a coach.
🎾 Choosing Arm-Friendly Strings
If you’re prone to tennis elbow, here’s what to look for in your strings:
Thinner Gauge: More elastic and shock-absorbing (17 or 18 gauge recommended).
Softer Strings: Natural gut is best, but multifilament strings are a great, affordable alternative.
Lower Tension: Reduces stiffness and increases sweetspot, lowering vibration.
✅ Final Tips
Work with a qualified stringer who can help you choose the best setup for your arm. Small changes in your gear can make a big difference in comfort and injury prevention.
