Q.
Could you suggest a tennis racket which is easy on the arm. I have been told that a less stiffer racket is easier on your arm. I am not sure if this is true. However, I would be willing to try just about anything. I have problems from serving with aches and pains in my forearm, elbow, and shoulder if I play on consecutive days. Any tips or recommendations on rackets would be appreciated.
Thank you
