Vibration dampener in tennis is a small device inserted into a racket’s string bed to reduce string vibrations. This accessory is used to enhance feel and comfort for the player.
Functionality of Vibration Dampeners
Vibration dampeners do not significantly change the racket’s performance but can alter the feel of the ball on impact. Many players use them to minimize the ‘ping’ sound of the strings and to reduce shock to the arm.
Types of Vibration Dampeners
There are various types of vibration dampeners, ranging from simple rubber bands to more sophisticated designs. The choice often depends on personal preference.
Vibration Dampeners and Player Comfort
While vibration dampeners are primarily for comfort, they can be particularly beneficial for players who experience discomfort or tennis elbow, as they help reduce the impact vibrations.
Personalization with Vibration Dampeners
Apart from their functional use, vibration dampeners also offer a way for players to personalize their rackets with different designs and colors.
