I recently purchased a paddle from Engage. I told them of my injury and they selected a paddle to fit me and my playing style. Id love to find an instructor who had worked through tennis elbow themselves.




I'm a 52 yr old man rated at a 3.0. I have little racket experience. I know I was gripping my paddle too tightly and snapping my wrist. I need to learn to hit more from my shoulder.

I like the soft game and need to concentrate on that. My goal is to play every weekday and enter a tournament or 2.

I wouldn't be that hung up on whether the instructor worked through the problem himself (or herself). After all, their technique and conditioning may have been good enough to prevent them from having the problem in the first place.
My bet is the most instructors have had pupils with the problem, who they've helped.
It's a great game. I hope you get this rectified soon.
