Tennis Player Health: Shoulders and Wrists
Allistair McCaw
The post by Allistair McCaw
In my experience, one area a lot of tennis players don’t consider enough is, is investing time and finding the right type of tennis string and tension to use.
This is especially evident in juniors tennis players. They spend money and time on the racquet, but little on the right string choice.
Another thing is that they want to use the combinations their favorite pro players have – this can be a big mistake. Your choice of tennis racquet and string has a huge influence on the health of your arm/shoulder/wrist. Take time and test strings, not just the tennis racquet!

What strings and tension range do you recommend for injury prevention? My pre-teen boy is very big for his age, uses a smaller racquet head, hybrid set-up (poly on mains, synthetic or natural gut on crosses) at 48 lbs. Generally, is lower tension better on the arms? Thanks in advance!
