Tennis elbow

Training

frank morris Asked 11 years ago

I have developed a pain in my elbow that seems to be "tennis elbow" and it seems to be from table tennis. Are there any common mechanics problems in my game that could cause this condition? Are there any steps to be taken to prevent this condition?

Thanks,

Frank

Hi Frank,

I find when I am doing something repetitively it can happen. The Pendulum serve keeping my elbow up high can do it. Also practicing backhand topspin where you are focusing on finishing the follow through with the wrist can also do it for me.

In this session we introduce some random drills. A random drill is where you don't always know where the ball is going. Random drills are really important for your development as they are more game like. You need to be able to play your strokes well even when you don't know where the ball is going. We also continue to work on your new serve. This week we introduce a target into your service practice to help you gain even more control on your serve.

Hi Alois,

I have been practicing the backhand topspin follow through. Is there anything other than foregoing practice to stave off tennis elbow?

Hi Frank,

That sounds like it. Try to keep the arm and finger more relaxed as you go through. Perhaps limit the amount of practice you do at the one time. Maybe more shorter sessions rather than a longer session.
