Pro-Impact
Tennis Elbow Brace
A $25 add-on that most elbow-pain sufferers should try before buying a new paddle. The counterforce mechanism is legitimate biomechanics — not a gimmick. Wear it for 4-6 weeks while also checking your paddle weight and grip size, and most recreational players see meaningful improvement.

Pros & Cons
Pros
- Counterforce brace design applies targeted compression to the forearm extensor muscles — clinically documented approach for lateral epicondylitis
- Fits over clothing and under long sleeves — wearable during match play without adjustment
- Adjustable strap fits most forearm sizes including players with larger arms
- Immediate symptom reduction for many players — allows continued play while arm heals
- Commonly recommended by physical therapists as the first conservative treatment step
Cons
- Not a cure — addresses symptoms, not the underlying form/equipment issues causing elbow strain
- Some players find the compression pad position requires trial-and-error to find the optimal spot
- Velcro wears out after 8-12 months of daily play use
