I had the pain in my elbow 3 years ago. Got one of those straps with the air pocket in it, it helped, but I had my span rechecked, redone and the pain was gone.
I'm not saying the span is the total cause in him, but I'd say it's a part. Yes, those straps do help, takes a while to find the right spot on your forearm, but the pain was games while I bowled. Soon after I took it off, the pain was back, again, until I changed spans, then I have had no pain.
Just for info, might be worth the cost of the strap, I got mine at WalMart, my wife uses hers , but her pain is from an old car accident, messed up her arm, elbow and shoulder.
