Modern rackets have facilitated a change in playing style from one of technique to one characterised by power and spin. The combination of the increased stiffness of modern rackets and the tendency for tennis balls to have become harder has led to an increased shock transmission from the racket to the player, which is probably a major contributor to tennis elbow. The paucity of tennis specific research on shoes and surfaces makes it difficult to link their characteristics with lower limb injury, although, as their interaction directly affects the magnitude of the forces to which the player is exposed, such a link seems reasonable.
现代球拍促使击球风格从注重技巧转变为以力量和旋转为特点。现代球拍硬度增加，再加上网球变得更硬，这使得从球拍传递到球员身上的震动增多，这可能是网球肘的一个主要成因。关于网球鞋和场地的针对性研究匮乏，因此很难将它们的特性与下肢损伤联系起来，不过，由于它们之间的相互作用直接影响球员所承受的力的大小，所以这种联系似乎是合理的。
