US Open Injuries Reduce Lineup in Men's Draw
The old style of play had a lot of things going for it including fewer injuries. For club and league players the style of the past is still quite useful in that in works well with aging bodies. The equipment out there can still be used to hit the flat and backspin shots needed to learn that style but you need to look toward 11-12 ounce frames and there aren't many of these. The Head Radical series has a few of them along with Kennex, and possibly Yonex. Look around and find an answer to your aching wrist, elbow, and shoulder with a change in equipment and style of play. If you're not a pro why live with the increased injury risk that comes with the heavy spin fast hitting style now seen in the professional game.
