If your elbow hurts after pickleballā¦ it might not just be your swing. Every mish*t sends vibration up the arm ā and over time that adds up.
As a PT, I look for ways to reduce stress on the elbow without telling people to stop playing. Paddle feel, sweet spot, and vibration control make a bigger difference than most players realize.
Less harsh feedback = happier elbows and more comfortable reps.
If you play a lot and your arm feels itā¦ your paddle might be part of the problem.
