What to Check in Your Setup When Your Arm Hurts
Do not dismiss pain as an adjustment period; assess your body, technique, and equipment together.
Player overview
Higher tension can increase elbow load under some conditions, but overuse, technique, the racquet, and grip also interact.
Measurement guide
- Stop playing and seek a healthcare evaluation if the pain is sharp or persistent.
- Record string material, tension, stringing date, weekly court time, and any recent jump in workload.
- After you are cleared to return, work with a professional to compare a more comfortable material and lower tension within the recommended range, one step at a time.
Latest measurement
Equipment changes are only one part of pain management, alongside rest, workload, and technique assessment.
