Then this post is for you. Don’t use dampeners? Ok, you are free to read or do something else 🙂

Andre Agassi used rubber / elastic bands. Therefore, they are probably good enough of most club players. They are cheap, works just as well, adds very little weight to your racquet, and they don’t fly off (if tied correctly).

You’ll need two things: 1) A racquet, and 2) a rubber band. See below.

Place the band under the two middle strings.

Tie a simple knot.

Put the ends through to the other side of the racquet and flip the racquet.

Tie another simple knot.

Put the ends back through to the other side, but this time do it between the two middle strings. You don’t want to cross over any strings. Flip the racquet.

Tie a third simple knot.

The end. A very cost effective dampener, that doesn’t fly off and disappear.

Enjoy the peace of mind 🎾😎
