Tennis vibration dampeners
This little piece of rubber slipped into the strings changes the feel of the hit: tennis vibration dampeners reduce the vibration and noise of the strings at impact.
What is a vibration dampener for
It absorbs the vibration of the strings, but not that of the frame. The impact feels softer, and the sound is duller.
Where to place it
Between the last two horizontal strings, at the bottom of the head, outside of the hitting area.
Wilson, Head, Tecnifibre: the models
Wilson, Head, Tecnifibre, Babolat and Prince offer the essentials of the selection.
