We are going to talk about a very widespread phenomenon in padel, but also in all racquet sports, elbow pain, which can be caused by your racquet. Are you an aggressive player who likes to hit the ball hard, but your elbow hurts? Read these tips to make the pain go away.

What is this phenomenon of tennis elbow (elbow pain)?

The problem is, if we look at the features of the anti tennis elbow bracelets, they are more geared towards a control player, not an aggressive player who likes to finish all the points.

What if the problem isn't with the racquet?

First of all, we recommend several things for an offensive player who has tennis elbow problems:

  • Perform a good warm up.
  • Use the right number of overgrips
  • Do prevention exercises

If you do all this, and you still have pain in your elbow, the problem will surely be the racket.

For players who want power, and who have a problem with the elbow, our recommendation is a racket in the shape of diamond (or if it is very serious, in the form of drop of water, to avoid that all the weight is in head), and soft rubber so that the ball goes off the racket effortlessly.

Do not put all your money in the search for the perfect racket

If you look at anti tennis elbow rackets, they are mostly round shaped rackets. Our advice is that you take yourself seriously:

  • Warming up
  • stretching
  • Prevention exercises for at least 2 months.

This after a week of rest (if you are already in pain) to start these preventive actions without having pain already. (to avoid aggravating the injury)

In addition, during the first month, do not play more than 2 times a week in addition to your workout, take the time to rest your elbow.

Finally, the company Kalamatech received an award for a very special anti-vibrator which is supposed to absorb shocks during impacts. Fernando Poggi also uses this technology. We tested it, and think it may help.
