Most dampeners only change the sound. The ShockSorb® Dampener V3 is built to change what reaches your arm.
How it works
When the ball hits your strings, a vibration wave travels through the frame into your wrist, elbow and shoulder. ShockSorb® places a Sorbothane® core — a viscoelastic material that absorbs 94.7% of impact (per Sorbothane® material spec) — directly on the string bed, so it absorbs that vibration at the source instead of passing it on.
Feel and sound
We spent two years of R&D, working with players from juniors to tour level, tuning ShockSorb® so it keeps your racquet's natural feel and a clean "pop" on contact.
- Original — crisper, more responsive feel for players who want comfort without losing feedback
- Ultrasoft — softer, more muted feel for players with arm sensitivity or who play in cold weather
