ive been trying to find them too....
people say lux used to give them with a purchase before.. now most probably only for the pros

oh darn it!1! some people said that luxilon used to send them 2 or 3 of them for free . i also emailed a representative and he recommened me to buy a wilson one =/

whats the major difference between that a sampras dampener? is it just the exclusivity or is there really a difference? I can't imagine it being too good if it comes free and if the company sends multiple copies

it matters to me!! haha

does davydnko also use this

I emailed them a few years back and they sent me a few of the pinky/purple ones.

I presume the ones the pro's use, they have had themselves for quite a while.

Luxilon did indeed include them in each pack of string they sold for a time. I have about two dozen or so...

Wasn't good form of them to discontinue the practice IMO.

And the funny thing is while I loved using a dampener with Volkl products, I don't use one in the AG100...

the one that berdych uses is simpy not available anymore. The filed in O dampener that monfils now uses I found at a place in Georgia and bought 3 of them. I immediately switched back to my other dampener because the luxilon one dampened way too much and affected my frames balance noticeably. But the point is, you may be able to find the monfils one but I dont think you are finding the one that Berd man uses

what about the large black O which acasuso has?

OliverSimon · 03-19-2009, 08:09 AM

when were they discontinued?

OliverSimon · 03-19-2009, 08:11 AM

can someone maybe send me a couple?

Bobble · 03-19-2009, 11:49 AM

only ones i know of are the ones that berdych and monfils use. i have never heard of the black one that acasuso uses, he used to have the pink one

Crisp · 03-19-2009, 07:56 PM

I have three of these but the ones i have are not Luxilon they are Pacific they look exactly like the Berdycth one. I have a green white and purple/pink. I have had them since i was 14.... Im now 27. I have no idea were to get them but they are the only ones i use and hopefully i will never lose them. So far so good.
