The science
Two materials. One job: stop the shock before it reaches you.
Most gear lets the impact through. Sorbothane® turns impact energy into heat instead of sending it back into your arm or heel. Used in ShockSorb and Heel Pad XC.

Our story →
Why RTP exists
Built by a coach who lost two years to injury.
He coached at ATP tour level and helped Hyeon Chung beat Novak Djokovic at the 2018 Australian Open. Nothing off the shelf protected players the way he needed — so he built it.
Players feel the difference
Have suffered on and off from tendinitis and this dampener feels GREAT. It is a lot to pay for a dampener but it is 100% worth it!
Gives me the confidence to swing through the ball with not so great form and not feel any vibration. Awesome product.
An improvement over the V2, which I felt was a significant improvement over any other dampener I've used in my 15 years of tennis.
Questions
Original or Ultrasoft — which dampener is right for me?
Original keeps a crisper, more responsive feel for players with mild sensitivity. Ultrasoft gives the most muted feel — best if you have arm pain, are coming back from injury, or play below 10°C.
Will UltraGrip socks fit my court shoes?
Yes — they are standard-thickness crew or ankle socks. Check the size chart; most players stay in their usual shoe size.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Returns are accepted within 30 days for unused products only.
