ADV Tennis Dampener with Custom Feel - 3 Pack - Racket Shock Absorber to Reduce Vibration, Relieve Symptoms of Injury and Stay on The Racket - Engineered Poly-Silicone Tennis Racket Dampener

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.

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.)

Like that you can adjust up or down

For anyone who sees their dampener fly off the racquet, this is the solution. Stays in place and maintains good vibrations.

I used many other dampeners but this one is the best by far with LIFETIME warranty. Once the dampener got lost flying off the racket or damaged, filing a warranty claim is easy and seamless. On a side note, I met Lavie, the founder of ADV tennis, at an tennis event and he was super cool.

This is a good dampener, but it is not better than any other good one out there that costs half the price.Positive aspects: It does what it claims very well. It stays in place (middle and bigger sizes).Negatives: It is expensive and it is much heavier than other dampeners. The middle size is 5.5 grams, which will increase your swing weight by about 4-5 points putting it at the bottom of the stringbed. It would not affect the balance much though.

The best dampener with no risk of loosing it. Perfect for tennis players that hit hard and need a reliable dampener. Stays put and doesn’t fall off like other dampeners. No other brand comes close. You will not be disappointed.

Seems to do its job and fit’s nicely
