I’m using an extreme western grip, which helps me generate a tremendous amount of spin as well as good power.
I used to play with a 4 1/2 in (size 4) Babolat which gave me tennis elbow; then I switched to a much lighter Prince with a grip size 4 1/4 in (size 2) and the pain went away… for a whole year.
A couple of weeks ago, the pain came back. I doubt it’s due to the grip size. I’m wondering if my tennis elbow could be due to my extreme western grip.

Also, what are some tips you know for curing tennis elbow? The regular ice treatment didn’t really work for me.

Thank you for any help/tips!

I need to work on the speed of my serve, I usually hit a kick that probably goes anywhere from 40-60mph and it lands in nearly 80% of the time. My accuracy isn’t where I’d like it to be either. My winners are usually of the mark by a couple inches and not as fast as I’d like to them. Got pretty decent court speed but it could always be better. I use the Cortex AeroPro Drive from Babolat currently but will probably have the GT within the week.

Any drills or exercises I could do to improve any aspect of my game would be helpful, especially if I could do them without a partner. Also any literature or videos you know that might help me would be appreciated too.

Thanks
Also any recommendations on strings for when I get the GT
