7 rackets from the finder's twenty
If your elbow already complains, the racket is half the fix: light, balanced in the hand, a soft core. These are the rackets the finder still recommends when you tell it the elbow is a problem, kindest first. The other half is the grip, the balls and how often you play.
How the list is made: every racket that scores 9 or 10 of 10 for kindness to the arm on the finder's scale, then the lightest first. No shop paid to be here, and the order is fixed before any link is added.
