## Overview

The RTP Tennis Racket Vibration Dampener features patented Sorbothane polymer technology originally developed for NASA applications, delivering superior shock absorption and vibration isolation. Lightweight at just 4 grams, it significantly reduces tennis elbow and wrist pain caused by racket vibrations, even with aggressive polyester strings. Handcrafted in the USA, this dampener offers durable, temperature-resistant performance and has earned hundreds of positive reviews and Kickstarter backing, making it a must-have for serious players seeking comfort and control.

## Description

Sorbothane is a proprietary, visco-elastic polymer. Sorbothane is a thermoset, polyether-based, polyurethane material. In addition to being visco-elastic, Sorbothane also has a very high damping coefficient. Sorbothane combines shock absorption, good memory, vibration isolation and vibration damping characteristics. While many materials exhibit one of these characteristics, Sorbothane combines all of them in a stable material with a long fatigue life. Sorbothane has a low creep rate compared to other polymers (rubber, neoprene, silicone, etc.) Sorbothane has a superior damping coefficient, over a very wide temperature range, compared to any other polymer. Sorbothane's operating temperature range is -20° to +160° Fahrenheit (-29° to 72° Celsius). Unlike fluid-based shock absorbers or foam products, Sorbothane absorbs shocks efficiently for millions of cycles. Sorbothane eliminates the need for metal springs to return the system to its equilibrium position after absorbing a shock. Information provided by Sorbothane Sorbothane has many industrial applications, from acoustic shielding to machine mounts. Sorbothane has been used by NASA to isolate vibration, in the Air Force Memorial, and to transport the Liberty Bell. Because of its unique ability to dramatically diminish shock waves and maintain its shape under stress, Sorbothane has shown promise in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis, also known as tennis elbow, and medial epicondylitis, or golfer's elbow.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which ShockSorb should I choose?**
A: Choose Original for firmer, crisper feedback and a more distinct “pop” on harder hits. Choose UltraSoft if you prefer a softer, more pliable response.

**Q: Do different colors change the feel?**
A: Choose the version first, then the color. Colors within Original share its firmer formulation; colors within UltraSoft share its softer formulation.

**Q: Will ShockSorb fit every racket?**
A: Fit depends on the string spacing. Check your string bed and install ShockSorb so it touches the lowest cross string; a secure fit matters.

**Q: How do I install and remove it?**
A: Work with the plastic outer shell. Gently alternate sides to move it onto or off the lowest cross string, then slide it between the strings. Avoid pulling the soft core.

**Q: How many dampeners are included?**
A: Each single-pack option shown here contains one dampener. Choose the version and color you want; multipack quantities are listed separately.
