vibe damps that give a "solid" sound

[legolas]

what are vibe damps, that give a solid sound? i know that the volkl and the ntrap gives a sloid sound, any others?

 

[chex]

well.. I like the red sampras ones. The black ones are more harder, and is more pingy..

I liked the Dunlop worm style ones...I think they were called Absorbers?

Any of the worm dampeners will work.

the sampras 0s work well

i use a rubber band tho, its works just as well

I like the worm-type dampeners (like from Gamma or Head). For a lot of people it mutes the feel of the racquet too much, but I have really gotten accustomed to that feel and they work very well for me.

How about trying the Prince Silencer? It doesnt have hooks like the others and dampens damn well!

 

[Duzza]

Gamma Worm are the best i reckon. I've tried Head logo damps, Rubberbands and the Worm is a lot different. Definitly worth a try

nothing beats a rubberband....

 

[EclipseRydr97]

Sampras 0's are really good

if you're talking about dampeners that completely dampen the ping sound, anything that's long or big will do. personally, i like the wilson shock trap, it's longer than the nTrap, but looks less bulkier as well.

rubber band, at least give it a try if you haven't

i found that rubber bands still have the ping sound.

I use a rubber band over 4 mains, which takes away quite a lot of the ping.

The Gamma Shockbuster I. I've tried quite a few (including the rubberband), and nothing else compares. Even when it comes unhooked, and it will on occasion, I can hear the difference. I may not be able to feel the diffference, but I can hear it. It will never, however, come off.

The effect of rubber bands is meant to be something in between having a dampener and not having one at all. Some think that a dampener does its job a little too well, resulting in a too-muted feel to the racquet. Using a rubber band gives back some of that feel without sounding too pingy at the same time.
