The Wrong Stringing of a Racket Can Cause Arm Pain, Says Chief Medical Officer of the U.S. Open

There’s really a whole science behind the stringing that’s done for the rackets in terms of the type of string that you use, the type of pattern, the type of tension. And so if you are getting pain anywhere in your arm, for playing tennis, that is one thing to look into is actually speak to a stringer and see if there’s a way that they can change around the equipment that you’re using, because it can be tailored to you and what you’re feeling.
