The authors anslized 300 tennis players for a history of tennis elbow, finger size, body weight,weight and grip size of racket etc. The results were as follows; 1. 68 among 300 players have suffered from tennis elbow more than one time (22.7%). 2. There were no difference in correlation between body weight and racket weight. 3. Most players have used improper grip, especially in those who have suffered from tennis elbow.
