Tennis Elbow--Rifles vs Nippon 850's

[jmb731]

I have played Rifle shafts for a number of years with great success. I recently bought a set of MP 60's with Nippon 850's and am noticing a little more shock than in the past. I had Rifles in the MP 32's and they seemed fine. Any thoughts or observations would be appreciated.

the mp60 has a thinner club face and tends to transfer the shock...and from what i've heard from the orient is that mizuno changed their foundry to china...so the metal compositon might be a little different...check and see where youre hitting it on the face of the club...the 850's will transfer the shock to you when you hit the ball thin...

IMO, Most Tennis elbow or tendonitis comes from a not fitted club or bad swing technique or hitting fat shot off carpeted driving range.

 

Sensicore or graphite is the best to "reduce" the stress, but definitely not the cure.

 

Imagine if you a club that is to up right or to flat which create an unwanted twisting motion at impact.

 

Imagine if you have a bend elbow at impact position, you'll put to much stress or shock on the elbow joint for sure.

 

Club head has a very minimal effect n this issue IMO.

 

Take a rest till completely healed up and start again w/ a proper swing and fitted club, I almost can bet you that you will fix this problem.

 

Good Luck!

magnopulse sell a elbow strap which you can use whilst practising or during play -i suffered for years with tendonitis due to overpractise at the range or badly fitted clubs -aka joe- the use of the strap has not completely cured but certainly has been a great help with this problem. not overly expensive ,my gp uses one has well so certainly worth a try = go to the magnopulse website and check it out.. :)
