Professor Durbin designed this racket to prevent Tennis Elbows!I play tennis and I hated it when I got Tennis Elbow. It really hurts. But with this new weapon, Tennis Elbow is a long gone history. This mathematically formulated design gets rid of that nasty SHOCK when you hit that tennis ball.This one is also very powerful and you can control the ball better because the racket will hold on to the ball longer!
Professor Emeritus Enoch Durbin did not set out to invent a better tennis racket when he took his complaint of tennis elbow to his family doctor, but he's learned that inspiration often takes root in unexpected soil. "I like to play tennis,'' he said. "I asked the doctor what I should do. His answer was take up another sport, like playing bridge.'' Professor Durbin's inspiration was, to put it more mildly than he did himself, to reject the physician's advice and delve deeper into the mechanics of his problem. What specifically is it about striking a tennis ball with a racket that causes tennis elbow? Framing precise questions is the first step to inventing a better tennis racket, or anything else for that matter, Professor Durbin said. The first task was to learn about tennis elbow, which as it turned out is an irritation of the upper arm muscles that has nothing to do with the elbow. The ailment is caused by the shock of the ball striking the racket and traveling up the arm. The solution is to hit the ball at the center of percussion on the racket, which results in pure rotation. The shock then flips the wrist, without harm, instead of roiling up the arm muscles. Professor Durbin's research involved a good deal of whacking tennis balls dipped in red dye to determine where he actually struck the ball relative to the center of percussion. That led him eventually to elongate the racket, adding more string that made it lighter, which in turn got him thinking about strings. That ended up with him borrowing his wife's pressure cooker to shrink highly twisted nylon string, which created a racket that cups the ball, holding it longer, and giving spin and slice to players, such as himself, who had never had it. The result is the Elbow Saver, a lighter, longer racket. Try it for yourself.
