The cause of tennis elbow is not entirely clear, and only about 5% of the people who suffer from tennis elbow are actually tennis players. One school of thought says it is the repeated act of the tennis swing that causes a muscle spasm and subsequent stress on the tendons around the exterior of the elbow. Vibration dampeners do exactly what they say - reduce the vibration you feel come up your arm after hitting the ball.

Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is one of the most common elbow ailments in orthopaedic medicine. Tennis elbow is tendinitis of the muscle called the extensor carpi radialis brevis which attaches to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. It may be caused by a sudden injury such as a blow, or by repetitive use of the arm in an activity, like tennis or racquetball. It's a common belief among doctors that micro tears in the tendon lead to a hyper-vascular phenomenon resulting in pain. See similar questions...

The condition, lateral epicondylitis, is a condition that affects the lateral, or outer, portion of the elbow, as opposed to the inner portion often found with Golfers Elbow, when it is overstressed or repetitively overused.

The area around the tendons of the affected elbow becomes inflamed and causes mild to severe discomfort with activity and nagging pain at rest. See similar questions...

Thinner gauges offer more resiliency (ofen equated with "feel") and generate better spin. Thicker strings last longer. Thick, 15 gauge strings are generally used in beginner and some intermediate racquets. Most serious players who don't like to restring too often use 16 gauge. 17 and 18 gauge are for those who can afford string luxury. Each gauge has a light (L) variation that's a little thinner.

Depending on the severity of the condition, Tennis Elbow can be very difficult to treat because our arms are always in use - in ways people may not even realize. Unlike an injured foot kept completely inactive with the use of crutches, the arm is used constantly. While refraining from a repetitive activity thought to have caused the condition may help in some cases, others are more serious and require a more aggressive approach before serious damage occurs.

Thinner strings are generally believed to bite into the ball better and produce more spin. A stiffer string material such as kevlar should also bite the ball more. For spin, the ideal string might be a very thin kevlar, but most players like thinner strings for their lack of stiffness, so they avoid kevlar. See similar questions...

Most definitely. Muscles work in groups, rather than individually, so I test all the muscles in the area of the problem. Any that test 'weak' are corrected with kinesiology techniques, such as rubbing or holding points or nutritional supplements. Sometimes one of the muscles has 'switched off' other muscles in the group, so the energy flow needs to be re-balanced, allowing all the muscles to work together synergistically.

There is no 'right' answer to this question; many lisp programmers have rolled their own solution in the past, and others are of the view that it should never be necessary, as long as all sequence functions are used with consistent :start and :end arguments. However, a community-based 'standard' was developed in June/July 2001 on comp.lang.lisp; known as SPLIT-SEQUENCE (formerly PARTITION), it works as follows in its simplest form: split-sequence #\Space "A stitch in time saves nine.
