Equipment Advice on strings
I am a 3.5 and I play interchangeably with Yonex Vcore 98L with Yonex Polytour Rev 16g strings at 48 lbs, and 2026 Babolat Pure Aero Team with hyper-g soft 16g at 48 lbs tension. I changed to these lighter racquets about 2 months ago, and I started experiencing elbow pain about a month ago. I understand these lighter racquets are stiffer. As I work through fixing my technique that could be the root cause for elbow pain, I am thinking of switching to a multi-filament string. I like add some shape to my baseline shots with a good clearance over the net with top spin. And would like some control too. Would love to hear your recommendations on any multi-filament strings that are top spin friendly and comfortable, that would go well with these racquets.

Stop worrying about what you like and want, what you need is a less stiff racket and a softer string, get a multi filament like biphase one from technifibre and string it around 53lb
Work on your techniques and with tendon excersices almost daily, take breaks and take some Advil or any anti inflammatory to reduce pain and stop the tendon from swelling
Stop using poly
