is it proven that dampeners really help?
curious lang. ever since kc skeptical ako dun.
is it just for aesthetic purposes? or does it really prevent muscle strains and watnot..

i noticed a pain in my right arm when im playing before. i started using a dampener a few months back and ever since the pain ceased out.  so am thinking if its just my mental..parang placebo effect lang kaya..

nope. accdg to the experts, pampaganda lang ng tunog sa impact ng bola.

uu nga noh

I agree with whizzard.  It does not help prevent muscle strains.  To avoid having this, make a complete follow through with your swing and just relax when you are playing.

less vibration from the racket, less stress sa mga muscles mo... what dampeners do to a racket is lessen its vibration from the head to the handle.

so it helps..hmmm

[daryl]

i think it helps a little, based on experience

Dampeners serve to tone down string vibrations, period.

When it comes to ball-racket impact, the main culprit here is impact shock, not string vibrations.  Dampeners may transform the sound of impact from a “ping” to a “thud” but it does nothing to prevent shock from propagating from the strings to the racket and ultimately to your arm.

While strings contribute some shock at impact, the majority of shock comes from the racket itself as it tries to resist the flexing and bending forces resulting from the impact.  If you look at racket technology of the past 10-15 years, notice that racket manufacturers have been addressing this issue of shock with innovative designs and manufacturing techniques, along with the use of exotic materials.  This is of even greater importance now that stiffer strings are in prevalent use.  How much shock the strings contribute depends upon the string.  Stiff strings like poly contribute more shock than softer strings like multifilaments.

It has been scientifically, medically and practically proven that there is no relationship between arm problems and dampeners.

ayun.. cnagot na ni raketwiz! period na to hahaha

ayt..

  oo nga naman. biruin mo sa isang kapiranggot na goma lang malelessen na yung nginig sa braso...    kung iisipin natin bakit may mga pro parin na walang dampeners? like roger federer... di naman nya siguro iniinda yung vibrations. hahaha! 

isa lang ang sure ko like RW said. Maganda tunog pag may dampeners. Akin nga gomang pang dampa lang ox na. parang may silencer na racket ko. hehe.

kapag walang dampener sakin nag wiwild ung bola pero nung nilagyan ko, naging mas ok

ibig sbhin minamagnet nun dampener yon bola. sa gitna na tumatama. kya di na wild.aha! bagong discovery yan.. lol

isang taon yta ako di nkpost dito ah..haha
