Most arm injuries brought about by both tennis and pickleball are because of the use of the one-hand backhand, which is 100% of the time for pickleball.
Also, physics and common sense come into play. Because it just makes sense that a racket with a shorter handle is MORE likely to be swung in a "whippy" fashion - thus breaking the wrist MORE and causing MORE injuries. Also, the greater NOISE of a hard plastic pickleball hitting an INFEXIBLE pickle racket versus the SOFT sound of a rubber-based tennis ball hitting a STRINGED TENNIS RACKET - PROVES the greater INJURY potential of pickleball.

Then they're playing wrong... I also played competitive tennis. You use much more wrist in tennis than in pickleball...
The "SOUND" the ball makes PROVES there is a greater injury potential?
