Shock absorber needed

[vamos_rafa]

hi i was wondering if there was a difference between shock absorbers and vibration dampeners? sorry for being so ignorant...also, which shock/vibe works best for you guys...i used to have this wilson one but it kept flying off my racquet... i asked my coaches and they said i was putting it on right

thanks in advance

okay im pretty sure they are the same things. maybe the string spacing is too wide i do not know. I rekon u shuld get those smiley face dampeners from the Wilson Bowl-of-fun cuz it looks cool

If yours pop out of the string too often, try Prince Silencer: http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/descpageACPRINCE-SDAMP.html

OK thanks, i knew they were the same thing, was trying to figure out what the difference might be anyway.

wow a locking mechanism....is there any other absorber besides that which has the locking thing or is that the only good one on the market right now?

Hi Rafa I had the same problem with vibration dampeners and last week finally I've found the best of all: Babolat Vibrakill, I think it's even better than Prince Silencer This shock absorber never falls and eliminates all vibrations, you have my word

i like the Gamma Shockbuster II. i like the way that they wrap through the string and clip into the strings. My friend had the Wilson one and kept flying off so i let him try mine and he loves it, won't switch back to the old Wilson.

gamma shockbuster(the little worm) will stay on, and has pretty good absorption, but ive found that babolat's new custom damp is the best if you want maximum absorption...by far

If you want a small dampener that works well and locks onto strings without ever flying off, you cannot go wrong with Tecnifibre Vibra Clip. It only weighs 2 grams, but does a hell of a job cutting down vibration, only takes 2 seconds to install, and will never ever fly off the stringbed.
