Restringing throughout the year should occur as frequently as you play tennis each week, or at least once a year; for example, if you play tennis three times a week, you should restring your racket three times a year. Remember that high string tension provides less power and more control; and low string tension provides more power and less control. To custom fit your racket with the ideal replacement string and tension, refer to the guide on the throat of the racket.

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 inventor of Acedge was always impressed by Ivan Lendl's preparation ritual before every serve he made. Ivan always made sure his grip obliged him to push his elbow upwards towards the ball strike area. When the elbow leads in this way the rest of the arm is greatly accelerated into the final snap before hitting the ball. If you observe a baseball pitcher or a javelin thrower you will notice that these athletes also lead with the elbow. See similar questions...

Early racquets date back to the 14th and 15th centuries and were used in games that resembled squash more than modern-day tennis. The heads of these racquets were more oval in shape and smaller than today's racquets, and the handles were very long. The game of tennis as we know it today and its equipment got started in the late 19th century in London, England. In 1874, Major Walter C. Wingfield patented the rules and equipment for a tennis game played outdoors on grass lawns. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...
