Trying to evaluate
This thing is hard to evaluate perhaps because it works slightly.<br /><br />I don't give into sugar pills.<br /><br />Pros:<br />Cheap<br />Slight relief of pain.<br /><br />Negatives:<br />Slightly Fat<br />Slightly Hot<br />Mild relief<br />Short term relief<br /><br />Some old people (50-70) play tennis all the time even though they are playing with people in their late twenties. Some even beat them.<br /><br />They get tennis elbow and probably other hurt parts like I do.  They play over three days a week.  They say people that hit hard strokes on them their arm gets sore so they use elbow straps or bands.  Most use thinner straps or bands than this design. I saw at least 3 other designs.  They all seemed relatively pleased with their straps.  Two said they need theirs all the time I didn't want to spend much but wondered if it would do anything.  My arm often hurt after playing for several months constantly for about 3-4 days a week.  I decided to buy this. I tried stretching my arm before hand that never worked maybe someone has secret stretches I don't know them tell me.  I bought this I couldn't wear it for very long, the old people said to wear it loose without it being too tight so I listened to them seemed to work better.  As I wore this item I listed the pros and cons above.  I am not a doctor but I think what these bands seem to do is tighten the muscles that run along the lower arm when you move your wrist or grip something this allows sort of a muscle tension that doesn't exist naturally without these straps.  I think a thinner one like they had maybe better.  I wish this was an elastic type of design. It would probably work better than this one because it doesn't give the strap is like firm unforgiving with a spandex below.  So your muscle tenses constantly because of that and the heat of the spandex is not so nice in warm weather.  I didn't wear it ever more than one game per each match, it does relieved pain slightly but the negatives exceed the benefits most of the time. I also didn't get instructions on what sort of placement or correct tension to use, If I did I didn't see them.  I have other pain as well the top of my arm is also often hurt during several hours of play.  The old people said to just get stronger their is no band for that.  I also changed racquets which also can take some of the constant slams against it. Maybe a icey strap would be a better buy unless they make changes to design.
