So, as you can guess - I have pretty bad Tennis Elbow. I had pretty much addressed every mechanic, started using a harness, etc to no avail. After doing some more research on the condition, I have come to learn that it is not so much a problem of swinging the detector, but instead an issue of just gripping the detector.
Who would have thunk it? Certainly not me. I figured that gripping issues would be in the inside of the forearm, since that is where the flexors live. But, apparently, the extendors also contract when gripping something so as to stabilize the wrist. And, wouldn't you know it, they tie down at the outside of the elbow. When they are angry with you - Tennis Elbow.
So, what I am doing now is creating a nice, comfortable strap that will attach to the top and bottom of my Detector grip that will hold my hand firmly in place so I don't actually have to GRIP the detector. I will just be able to keep my hand open and swing the detector to my heart's content. Once I finish it, I will post pictures.
I was going to use that plastic they used to package bacon for the structural base of the strap, but, wouldn't you know it - they don't use that plastic backing in bacon anymore. Need to find something else that is pliable, shape-able, and neigh indestructible.
