HEAD Smartsorb Tennis Racket Vibration Dampener

Works great. Will buy again

This is my all-time favorite shock absorber. Every year I always come back to using this one even after trying out the rounded or square shaped ones. This one is my favorite because it expands across the racket so it's more stable and secure. The only caveat is that this one seems to break a lot easier especially when the balls accidentally hit the sides with the hooks.

Not bad. I bought this for my daughter who is 13, plays 5 days per week, and despite that much tennis has some sort of mental block that prevents her from being able to install a normal dampener without it shooting across the court. That being said, in order to not have her freaking out about it during matches, I had to find something she could actually work with if it actually came off while playing. This was my answer. She tells me the dampening properties are no worse or better than the Babolat square dampener she was running on her Babolat Pure Aero Team racquet, and the string sounds didn't change either. Though it would appear by its design that it wouldn't ever pop loose, it actually has a few times when it takes a direct hit from a ball on the end hook. Obviously, that's an uncommon place for a ball to strike, so this isn't going to occur regularly. However, weaving it back into place and clipping the end hook back onto the end-point string is very easy. She likes it well enough to continue playing with it. Not 5* due to its price and that it's not really any better than other dampener styles; it's just different, but it is effective, so 4*.

Excelente producto.

Very easy to break

Broke first time i used it

According to the USTA, string vibration dampeners are legal as long as they are placed outside the area of the cross strings. Dampeners may not overlap the bottom cross string, and they do nothing but calm the sting vibration and change the sound of the impact. No dampener affects the feel in your arm. These are as good as it gets! They do not come off until you take them off. To install them, go to the string bed area below the last cross string (toward the throat of the racquet). You want to put them between two main strings that measure just a bit farther apart than the length of the SmartSorb when it is centered within in the width of the stringbed. Finding string to start upon (when it is centered - either end of the SmartSorb will do) the SmartSorb is then woven over and under the main strings (some prefer starting at the middle and weaving outwards - not me). Be sure to stretch it a bit as you are weaving so you can reach the string you plan to be the final hook main string that centers (width-wise) the SmartSorb on the stringbed. Hint. If the hook opening is down when you attach it, then weave under the first main, and if the hook opening is up when you start weave over the first main. I love this product... POP!

Easy to apply

after one hour tennis, the left side breaks, yes it doesn't fly off, but the quality is just astounding

correct
