The best padel rackets to prevent epicondylitis
What is epicondylitis and what is its relationship with the type of racket?
One of the most important points to consider is that padel, while being an easy sport to practice and not requiring great physical effort to develop a good game (it is understood that it will not be competitive-professional), often causes intensive practitioners discomfort in the elbow area known as tennis elbow or epicondylitis.
It is true that this ailment can also arise from a blow to the elbow area and, from there, develop with the effort of the sport itself, but the majority percentage is due to playing padel with very heavy rackets, with the weight balance on the head of the racket, or if they vibrate, accentuating even more if the player uses cut or topspin shots, as these shots put the most strain on the elbow tendon.
