Arm & Elbow

Pickleball elbow is the #1 injury in the sport. Understand what causes it, how your paddle choice affects it, and what to do if it happens to you.

Quick Tips

  • ✓Choose a paddle with a 16mm+ core for vibration absorption
  • ✓Don't grip too tight — a relaxed grip reduces strain
  • ✓Use a wrist-lead swing, not an arm-lead swing
  • ✓Counterforce braces can help during flare-ups
  • ✓Eccentric wrist exercises strengthen tendons over time
