My problem is that it is not the racket that is stiff,it is the stringbed which feels stiff and strins dont move over each other easily,that's why all the problem while hitting with spin,lack of power,smaller sweetspot,twisting and vibrations etc.
My question is
1. Could the grommets be causing this?I am not blaming HEAD clear grommets generally but mine may be defective.As one knows the strings are never in direct contact with racket frame,they are in contact thrugh the grommets.
2. My strings go completely dead and stiff as soon as I put the dampner on even with a multi(RIP Control 17)at low tension(52 lb).Could this phenomenon be indicating towards any problem with the grommets.
3.Has anyone gone through similar problem found solution by changing the grommets.
My queries are very specific.Guys,please help without digressing.Your help is much appreciated.
It is impossible for a dampner to cause your strings to go stiff and dead! I found RIP Control to feel pretty stiff and without much power for a Multi. Re-string your racquet with Tecnifibre X-One Biphase. That is a a multi with much more pop than RIP Control.

Hey VS,
I was so waiting for you to come to my rescue.The difference a dampner(Or the lack of it) was making prompted me to doubt the grommets. I have tried very hard to stick with my IGPMP but it is unbelievably troublesome.If you have gone through my earlier posts you must be well aware of my problem.
Should I replace the grommets and give it a go because right now I am having all sorts of difficulties hitting with this stick specially if I am trying to hit with spin.
I can feel strings resisting to slide over each other, and that's why stringbed feels very stiff.The ball feels heavy at the time of impact.
Please help.

Maybe you should get a stick you can handle and not try to blame the grommets for your pain
