Prince NXG Silencer Vibe Dampener Clear

I bought it for my racquet and on the reviews someone said it didnt conform to the North East Ohio USTA league.

Well I live in texas and Im wondering, is it legal to use this dampener in the Juniors USTA Texas?and was that guy lieing?

It covers six strings by the way.

I guess it's not legal. I think it's because it covers so much string.

This is the Silencer dampener:

The NXG Silencer is different. I'm fairly sure it's legal as long as you put it outside of where the crosses and mains meet (the box areas)

looks legal, from what i remember donald young uses a head smart sorb dampener which is quite similar to the silencer etc...

As long as you dont put it above the bottom cross its legal

Yes it's legal to use. As others said, make sure it's below the bottom cross.

looks legal to me..

If you use it the way it is suppose to be used with the loops locked in at the intersection of the bottom mains and crosses it is illegal. A small part of the loop would be above the bottom cross. If you just looped around the mains below the crosses, I don't know well it would stay on or how well it would dampen.

This one (the NXG Silencer) is legal.
It was the Silencer that was not legal.
Pretty confusing of Prince to have such similar names.

I own two of them. They really stay on the strings. Like all silencers, all they do is change the pitch from a high pitched sound to a more pleasing lower pitched sound. No real vibration dampening effect on the arm though.
