What the specs suggest
On published specs alone, this racket points toward attacking players who already defend well. Elbow-friendly: Not by the specs.
How this is worked out: shape (diamond +2, round -2) + balance (high +1, low -1) + core feel (hard +1, soft -1); tennis elbow = round + soft core + max weight <= 365 g. It is a starting point, not a court test.
