“I absolutely love the RTP dampener. I first discovered it about a year and a half ago when I was coming back from a wrist injury- and I haven’t taken it off since. It softens the bite of the racquet without losing any feel. The RTP dampener helped me get back from injury and continues to help keep me healthy all year while playing a full WTA schedule” — Quinn Gleason #112 tennis player in the world
(Based on real customer feedback from using the dampener)
These benefits come from the patented shock-absorbing and vibration-blocking material, ‘Sorbothane’, designed to reduce the physical strain and discomfort often experienced during sports and physical activities.
Athletes who switched to our dampeners reported a noticeable decrease in tennis elbow and wrist tendonitis pain, with 75% experiencing pain relief and 43% achieving complete pain elimination.

After years of going from silicone dampener to rubber band ties. Made the leap to try this product due to elbow and shoulder aches. Feel the vibrations are leas and smoother, cleaner versus pervious dampeners. It’s a cleaner response and feedback. Other than adjustment to addition of 4g to string area. This is a good addition to customizing my rackets.
Love these shock absorbers. They truly dampen the ball just right. Not too much and not too little. Will be using these from now on.
The difference is night and day from the standard dampener. Amazing pop and great feel. Aesthetically pleasing too, with the blue dampener on a blue raquet.
I’m a player who has always sought that “just right” dampener that delivers with feel and sound - I battle chronic shoulder and occasional elbow issues. After trying the new V3, I was sold and had to put one in all of my rackets. As a player for more than 40 years, this is the first time I’ve felt comfortable with no reservations.
Thank you for your glowing review! It's fantastic to hear that our V3 dampeners have made such a positive impact on your game, especially given your years of experience and the physical challenges you've faced. We're thrilled that we could provide the comfort and performance you've been seeking. Your satisfaction is our ultimate goal, and feedback like yours inspires us to keep innovating. Enjoy the game without reservations, and we hope you continue to find success on the court with our products. Keep swinging!
After using it for a few weeks I don't think this dampener is that much different than other $3 ones. If I were you I would save your money and buy a "regular one." The product is fine but the price to performance ratio is the reason for my rating
We appreciate your honest feedback and understand your concerns regarding the price-to-performance ratio of our dampener. While it may seem similar to less expensive options at first, our dampener is designed with advanced materials like Sorbothane to significantly reduce vibrations and potential arm pain, a benefit that becomes more apparent with continuous use, especially for players experiencing discomfort. We believe in the value our product adds by offering enhanced protection and comfort, aiming to support players in the long term. Thank you for giving it a try.
Some of our favorite reviews. Just some, out of many ;).
THE BEST shock absorber I've ever used!
"I've been a tennis coach for 15 years, played since I was 5 and always used a shock absorber. This is THE BEST shock absorber I have ever used!
I first used my old dampener, then tried this RTP shocksorb and it was a night and day difference! And I’m using an old school Wilson nCode six-one tour 90. With old strings. Amazing.
I found that I could hit with more confidence, and take fuller swings at the ball, knowing it was going to be comfortable. And I’ve had shoulder surgery already. I couldn’t wait to write to you after I hit with it!"
Get this dampener right now if you suffer from tennis elbow (or wrist, or shoulder)!!
"I stopped playing competitively a while back due to tennis elbow that just won't go away and will flare up after a couple hours of hard hitting.
RTP ShockSorb has all but prevented elbow flare-ups, to such level that I played 3 days in a row without having to put my arm in a sling. Heck, I didn't even have to ice my elbow or take ibuprofen. This is pretty darn amazing, and I am utterly impressed in its efficacy. This thing absorbs string vibration like nothing else on the market
This is a super product for sufferers of tennis elbow (or wrist, or shoulder). At $15 a pop, I think it takes the crown as the most expensive dampener on the market, but with many high-end strings going for $20+ per pack, I think it's a very worthy investment, especially considering that I get to keep my racquets and not spend time and money on newer models that boast enhanced dampening."
Lasts super long, love it!
"I was skeptical because of the price, but this dampener lasted me 18 months which is more than 10x the lifespan of other dampeners. Being a tennis coach, I was also able to feed balls all day without any discomfort in my arms. Great dampener!"
Great dampener!
"I thought dampeners are only for dampening sound, but this dampener is different! It definitely reduced my elbow pain. 120% recommended!"

I think I did a review of the wrong product. I accidentally did a review of the warranty. This product is absolutely garbage! It tore right out of the packaging. Did didn't even hit one ball, I didn't even put it on my racket and it was already defective. For the ridiculously expensive price is this product the quality couldn't be lower. I am so very disappointed. Please!!! In the future make a better quality product!

The dampener is good quality and I prefer it to any other I’ve used. But beware of trying the colors as they are inaccurately advertised. Customer service told me this was “color variation due to photography” and refused to replace it. It would take some pretty intentional lighting manipulation to get that difference so I would be wary of trying colors!

Noticeably better dampening. I am very analytic and it was obvious to me that this is really the better dampener. So give me my discount and I will buy more

This is the best dampener I have ever used. I could feel the difference from the moment I put it on my racquet! My only issue is one of them came off during a very intense match, and I didn't notice until I got home, so I am bummed. I lost after being up most of the match, and I don't think that would have been the case if I had my new favorite dampener the entire match. I have to have it!

To be honest, I wasn’t experiencing any elbow pain to begin with. But upon seeing the advertisement for this dampener, I figured it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. And after playing with it, my elbow continues to be pain-free ... so the dampener helps(?). :-)

I have a unique story that brought me to tennis nearly 15yrs ago. While I didn't learn the way most people do, my passion for the sport has grown significantly over the years, especially as I've improved. I have recently begun coaching as well! Honestly, I didn't give enough credit to the importance of feel when feeding the ball for lessons and drills until it was time to start. With that said, the way these dampeners help me FEEL the ball on my strings longer in both rallies and feeds helps with control in ways I really didn't expect. I use a full bed of Poly when I play, but synthetic gut for feeding drills and lessons, and BOTH are dramatically improved. I don't experience any elbow or wrist pain during play, so I can't speak to any potential improvements there, but it definitely sounds like a cleaner pop off the strings, which is an added bonus!

Functionally these are great. No tennis elbow and still good feel on the racquet. My issue is that the colors seem to fade extremely quickly, assuming from sun exposure. My lavender turned gray after a short period of time =(

After I tried the original dampener, I immediately bought 2 more. This time is the UltraSoft version. Honestly, I cannot feel nor hear the difference when i hit the ball. For some reason, i found that i had a little pain again on my wrist after the hitting session than using the original version that i had close to no pain. I need to try longer to see if there are some other factors which caused the pain. Anyway, i would still recommend this dampener cos it reduces my wrist pain.

When striking the tennis ball, the vibrations produced travel down the racket but the dampener absorbs all of it, not letting a single wave travel down to the racket handle. My teen son wrote this review 😊

I was hesitant that this would actually make any impact to elbow pain. My elbow pain was not stopping me from playing (not serious injury) but due to playing lots of baseball, it was constituently sore , tender and weak feeling after playing tennis — I’m 4.5 player - 43 yrs old After using for 1 or 2 days, not much notice, but the feel was nice and I liked playing with it. Now a few weeks later and I don’t have elbow pain or soreness or weakness after playing. For elbow, it worked to eliminate any nagging soreness, weakness, and it feels great to play with. I’m using Wilson PS v14 Noir and it will stay on both my rackets as permanent fixture. Great product!! Best dampener I’ve ever used, it has actually more than 1 purpose!!!
