Elbow Crunch 2002 

Elbow Crunch should be low, to minimize the compressive force acting at the elbow upon impact, when the centripetal force about that joint suddenly becomes more than the centrifugal force and produces what is effectively a muscle spasm that could tear the elbow tissues.  The Elbow Crunch rankings under the five benchmark conditions were weighted, then these weighted ranks were summed to produced the weighted sum that determined the overall rank.  To see the range of Elbow Crunch values under each of the Benchmark Conditions, click here.  The ranking is from best (Prince Graphite Classic OS) to worst (Wilson Triad Hammer 5.0).
