Stiff racquets?

Question

I saw a fact on tenniswarehouse saying that stiff tennis racquets put more shock on the arm. Does this shock cause injuries?

Also I might consider getting the flexpoint prestige mid or the microgel prestige mid because of their flexibility. Can someone tell me which is better?

Can someone also tell me the pros and cons of flexible racquets and stiff racquets?

Thank You

Answer 1

Stiff rackets do tend to cause tennis elbow, because of all the vibration going into the arm.

i would say the microgel would be best, but you should demo them both from tennis warehouse and see what one you like best.

To simply put it, stiff rackets are more powerful while flexible ones have more control
