The Head Speed would be the second most friendly. Good luck! Of the racquets listed I believe the Head Radical offers the most arm friendly specifications.

]]> Comment on Reducing and Eliminating Tennis String Movement by Paul http://ggtennis.wordpress.com/2009/05/12/reducing-and-eliminating-tennis-string-movement/#comment-429 Paul Mon, 09 Nov 2009 22:55:18 +0000 http://ggtennis.wordpress.com/?p=467#comment-429 I just came across this site and love it. Is there any structural problem with stringing the crosses 4-5 lbs higher than the mains if it is within the manufacturer's suggested tension range? I don't mind the mains moving but for some reason I find the crosses moving to be highly offensive! I just came across this site and love it.

You say to use a newer softer poly. Would this include MSV, Topspin Cyber Blue, and Weiss Cannon turbotwist strings? I too play with a Dunlop Aerogel 500 Tour. You say to use a newer softer poly.

The weight and balance of the Tour are acceptable, but stiffness measures 70 - 72 depending upon the source and that is just too stiff, IMO. Over time with significant play and multiple stringings the stiffness will soften, but that process takes time. The good news is that the Tour only scores weak in one area which is much better than scoring low in multiple areas. The bad news is the stiffness of the frame is the one area that can not be modified. I would suggest using softer strings in this this racquet and if you use any poly-based string I would look for the newer technology softer polys and would consider using them in a hybrid with a soft synthetic gut. Also I would encourage you to use a cushioned grip and make sure sure you replace the grip at regular intervals to help absorb shock. It is possible to play happily with the stick with no problems whatsoever and we hope this is the case with you. However, stay attuned to the feedback your body is giving you and pay particular attention to aches and pains in the elbow and shoulder. @Josh – I consider the Aerogel 500 Tour a borderline racquet.
