Question

How do you insert shock dampeners onto your tennis racquet?

Answer 1

some of them you need to put in when you restring it but others you don't. if you have a small one what you do is you get one of the sides and make the string in between the gap. then you do the same with the other side. it will take some practice. if you need some help you could go to a tennis shop and ask them.

Answer 2

i think we need to place the shock dampener below the lowest cross string (horizontal string). find the two center main strings (vertical string). for button-like dampeners, you need to place the dampener's groove into these center mains. for worm-like dampeners with groove, insert to the mains at each grooves (sometimes 4 grooves at left side, 4 at right side) starting at the center mains. the same goes for worm-like dampeners with end-hook, and place the hook at the next mains at the left and the right. you will need to bend the strings a bit while inserting. do not worry too much about breaking the strings, they are stronger than you think. but do be careful. hope this helps :)

Answer 3

I think that you have to put in on when you string the raquet



Good luck trying.

Answer 4

It should be placed outside the string pattern

Answer 5

They fit onto the strings.

Answer 6

It's kinda hard to explain, but you gotta push apart the 2 vertical string's that you trying to insert it between. The shock absorber will have a groove... so make sure the string goes in the groove. Do that for say the left string first. Using that shock absorber push that left string a little to the left and bend the absorber a little till you can get the right string also in the groove on the other side.

Hope it made sense.
