Tennis Elbow?
If you are having issues with pain in your forearm (e.g. tennis elbow/pickleball elbow), there are a number of recommended solutions.
One that we have used with GREAT success is the the Bandit Compression Sleeve. It’s comfortable and doesn’t slide off when your arm gets sweaty.
When added to our change of paddle to PROKENNEX Pro Flight (worth the money in our option), our issue with forearm pain was resolved.
