hurricane tour? ok. so i started to use this racquet about 5months ago, and i used that long shock absorber. but when i always mishit the ball and hit the shock absorber, it always popped. what kind of shock absorber (small one) should i use to feel more comfortable and to use longer? oh and can somebody recommend me the tennis grip? i've tried few grips, and i didn't really like wilson white grip. what kind of grip is tacky, and also feel comfor table?
What kind of shock absorber should i use for babolat aero drive with pro
IBasically, the dampener reduces vibrations in the stringbed. The debate is still out on whether they actually reduce overall frame vibrations, but whatever. The lessened vibrations change the sound of the ball striking the strings. Some frames have a more tinny, 'ping' sound. The dampener will change that to a more satisfying 'pop' type sound. There is also a slight change in the feel the frame has. But again, some argue this is good, others say it's bad.
I use a dampener because I do like the sound of the ball hitting with a dampener on. My frames are also slightly overpowered for me, and I feel that the high tension strings plus the dampener do quite a bit to kill off some of that unneeded power.
Bottom line: It doesn't really matter. It all comes down to which feel you like better. The good thing is, they are really cheap. Try one out, and see for yourself. If you like it, then cool. If you don't, then you haven't wasted much money. I'd just suggest going to your local tennis shop and picking out a small dampner that's made by he company of the racket you use. As for tennis grips if your looking to use a tackier grip that's pretty comfy I'd like to reccomend the tourna grip which comes in both tacky and regular. Many timesat your local tennis shop they have grip samples and would be happy to help you find the right grip
. Hope that helps!
