I can't play without my vibration dampener.
I lost my dampener the other day while playing. It threw my whole game off. I couldn't play my game without it. It was messing with my mind. I can't even play the same with another type of dampener. I must have MY dampener. Am I the only one that feels like this?

What kind of racquet do you play with again?
I have a Wilson and my trademark is to turn the W upside down: M for Mark! You can borrow this idea. I won't tell anyone.

Ever since I switched to old Head racquets, I no longer feel that way anymore. They already have a dampened feel. I used to carry the Sampras ones religiously, because they didn't weigh too much.

Forget the dampeners! I find them too much dampening. I've been using a think rubberband and tie it, them trim to the right feel/weight. It never falls off...and way cheaper than those expensive worthless fancy dampeners! Also, those dampeners will pop out during a rally! I think Agassi copied me...

Your post reminded me of how I always used a rubber band, kind of following the agassi tradition. Today I actually don't use dampeners any longer,, I guess habits can change over time. Good luck finding your dampener.

Dampeners have been around for years. I think it originated as a rubber grommet. Others followed with various material, sponge, dense rubber, various polymers. I liked using a good quality rubber band, it never popped out during play. These days, I use the rubber bands often found to bundle fresh veggies and produce.

Oh yes totally understand. Babolat O dampener without the insert, nothing else seems to give me the right feel and can completely knock me off my game.

I use a Prince EXO3 Graphite MP, and although I started out using a string dampener, I find I like the strings to twang a bit for "feel" (not to be confused with the tinny vibration some other racquets have). Thus I no longer use a dampener, not that there's a whole lot of twang to begin with, unlike my POG (OS).
