I actually get golfer's elbow - from golfing. Epicondylitis. But I think biking a lot makes me more susceptible to it. For golfing, I wear a brace on my forearm just below the elbow, called a "Band-It." I didn't think it would work, but it does. I think it just changes the geometry of the tendons in the elbow so there is less irritation. Haven't tried the "Band-It" biking, but it might be worth a try for $20. A lot of different companies make them, you might be able to find something cheaper, but this has held up for a lot of ball striking over 2 years.
