Head’s Graphene 360+ Gravity line of racquets has racquets for players at all levels. Head Gravity Pro is the heaviest. In addition,  Gravity racquet line includes Gravity MP, and MP Lite, S, and Lite options.  MP and MP Lite models offer more control, S and Lite models offer more power.

All Head Gravity racquets include Graphene 360+ technology which combines HEAD’s signature Graphene 360 technology, which is optimized for energy transfer, with spiral fibers for enhanced flex. All racquets have low flex ratings and are easy on your elbow and arm.

Head Gravity Pro Racquet 

Head Gravity Pro racquet has plenty to like for intermediate to advanced players. The racquet has a forgiving 100 sq. in head that will allow you to hit the ball with confidence and not worry about mishits. The dense 18 x 20 string pattern gives you excellent control. The string pattern offers a low launch angle but you will get used to it quickly.

Head Gravity Pro is easy on the arm with a stiffness rating of 62.  It’s great to see a good racquet that is arm-friendly. Racquet makers have been coming out with stiffer racquets in recent years, which has exacerbated tennis elbow problems among tennis players. 

Head Gravity Pro’s 11.7 oz string weight and 332 swing weight gives you enough mass to drive and redirect your groundstrokes from the baseline. The racquet has enough mass to both attack the ball and to block or redirect pace from the baseline.

At the net, the large sweet spot, combined with the great feel of the racquet allows to accurately tackle the volleys. The racquet doesn’t flutter and holds its own against fast incoming balls. For those who like to hit swing volleys, the racquet offers good control on your shots.

The racquet is great for hitting powerful flat serves with control. The slice serves also work well with this racquet.  Comparing to other Head racquets, the Head Gravity Pro offers better feel than the Head Radical and more power than the Head Speed racquets. The racquet has one of the good looking frames with nice color combinations. 

Among the top pros, Alexander Zverev and Andrey Rublev use the Head Gravity Pro racquets. Retired Ashleigh Barty also used the Head Gravity racquets.

Tennis elbow is a very common problem among tennis players. It is caused by the repetitive motions of the arm, which stresses the tendons outside the elbow. Though it is called tennis elbow, you can get this tennis elbow by playing other racquet sports such as pickleball or golf.

To heal tennis elbow, you need to consult a doctor. But Elbow braces, supports, and sleeves can provide short-term relief allowing you to play tennis. Choosing a good tennis elbow brace or sleeve comes down to durability, comfort, and personal preferences.

I recommend the Simien Tennis Elbow Brace as the best overall brace. If you are looking for an elbow sleeve, consider the Kunto Fitness Compression Support Sleeve. Our pick for the best budget option is ACE Tennis Elbow Support.

Types of elbow braces

Sleeves

Sleeves are tight-fitting slip-on braces you can wear underneath or outside your clothes. Sleeves are lightweight usually have multiple color options

Strap

Straps are adjustable braces that have velcro straps. These provide better support for your joints than sleeves but tend to bulkier.

Dual support

Dual support braces offer more support than sleeves or straps – they have two straps to support your joints. Dual supports are designed to limit your motion to allow healing but will still allow you to play tennis.

Other changes to relieve tennis elbow

Racquet 

The primary reason for tennis elbow is the tennis racquet you play with. Over the years racquets have become lighter and stiffer – a dangerous combination. Choose a racquet that is flexible and easy on your arms. Check out our article on arm-friendly tennis racquets.

Strings

Just like racquets, strings have also gotten stiffer over the years. Stiff strings (usually made of polyester) offer more power, spin, and control but are also a major contributor to tennis elbow. Consider using multifilament strings – these strings offer better shock absorption.

Exercises and Techniques

Tennis elbow is a condition that needs to be managed proactively. 

• Exercise and stretch before playing (check these exercises recommended by WebMD)
• Apply proper form and technique for your strokes

Conclusion

Remember that tennis elbow braces will not heal your injury.  But these braces provide temporary relief to play tennis. You will need to work with a doctor to find a long-term solution. A doctor may recommend other treatment, including taking time off from tennis.
