Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the purpose of a vibration dampener?

  A vibration dampener is a small device fitted to the strings of a tennis racket, designed to absorb shock and reduce vibration. This ensures a more consistent shot while improving comfort and reducing the risk of injury to your wrists and elbows.

• What are tennis racket overgrips?

  Overgrips are a great addition to your tennis racket, as they provide extra comfort, absorb sweat and improve grip traction. Overgrips come as either tacky feeling or dry feeling, tacky is more grippy, whereas dry is better for sweat absorption. They are thin layers you apply to your existing grip, which will improve your enjoyment of the game whilst also extending the life of your original grip. They can also be used to make a grip slightly larger, if you feel the original grip is too small for you.
