ADV Tennis Vibration Dampener - Set of 3 - Ultimate Shock Absorbers for Racket and Strings - Premium Quality, Durable, and 100% Reliable - Poly-Silicone Material Technology

Bonita e funcional! Uso na minha raquete e deu um pra minha filha!

At a certain point in your growth as a tennis player, the feel of the racquet becomes important - especially if you are prone to soreness in your arm from overuse, like I used to be. Eventually, I bought some standard dampeners with the assumption that they are all pretty much the same. When a friend introduced me to these dampeners by ADV Tennis, however, I was extremely impressed with the variability in feel that these provide. I rotate between two types of racquets that vary widely in the absorption that they provide, which can throw me off when switching between them. The ADV dampeners have helped to reduce this variability and allow me to play consistently in the event that I need to change racquets in the middle of a match/lesson. Here are the racquets that I currently use and the dampeners that work best for them: WILSON BURN 100 (circa 2015/2016): This is my favorite racquet to play with. I can get some solid hits on the ball with a lot of top spin, but this iteration of the Burn series has low-to-medium shock absorption. I have been using the 1 Sorb (the "medium" dampener) with this racquet, and it has been working out really well. If I were to upgrade to the newer line of Wilson Burns, however, I would probably go with a dampener of a lower absorption as the new racquets do pretty well in this regard. HEAD GRAPHENE XT RADICAL PRO (newest model): I typically use this as a back-up, although it is, by all accounts, a very good racquet. The good thing about the Graphene racquet is that it absorbs shock pretty well. I find that when I am in good form and hitting my shots hard with a lot of top spin, however, I need some extra absorption with this racquet to make sure that I do not end up with an overuse injury. For the Graphene Radical Pro, I use the 1 Touch (the "lowest" dampener) to provide the small adjustment in shock absorption that I need. Overall, I am very happy with these dampeners. My only issue with them so far is that they are difficult to insert into the Graphene Pro's 16x19 string pattern, but I would rather put a little extra effort into inserting the dampener into a tight space than having a dampener that could fall off at any moment. (So far, none of the ADV dampeners have come close to falling off - unlike my old "standard" dampeners.)

No more searching for my dampeners in the ground after they get hit by a ball: these dampeners are super stable and always stay in my racket. The dampening also adds great comfort. I use a Babolat Pure Drive which is a not so arm-friendly racket, and this dampener really helps muting the vibrations. The color is not as vivid as in the pictures (I ordered the green one), but still looks decent on my strings.

Stay in place

Works great and they do not fall out. I love this damper.
