Rubber band.....Vibration dampener?

Question

Does a rubber band make that sound that a regular dampener does. IDK how to explain the sound. The thicker the rubber band the better, right?

In high school tennis matches, will they let me use the rubber band as a dampener on my racquet?

Answer 1

A vibration dampener is always better than a rubber band.  Rubber band would work, but a vibration dampener is better :)

Answer 2

Rubberbands are always better. I've never had one fly off during a point like other dampeners and theyre the cheapest.

Yes, they will let you use it as long as it is below the bottom cross.
