Top Tennis Strings
Sore arm, tennis elbow and string
String advice, not medical treatment. If the elbow is injured, see a clinician.
A full bed of ALU Power or Hyper-G is a common way rec adults make a sore arm worse. Comfort first, then add poly later if the arm allows.

Still want poly?
Go hybrid: poly mains, multi crosses. Tour Bite Soft is kinder than ALU or Hyper-G, but still a poly.
Tension
A couple of pounds lower is kinder than cranking it for control. Tension basics.
