Abstract (en)
A vibration absorber (10) for tennis racquet strings includes a thin, flexible strip (12) with a relatively massive donut shape member (14) at either end. The device is weaved over and under the racquet main strings (34), so that the flexible strip (12) contacts preferably between 4 and 6 of the center main strings (34), and the donut members (14) engage, through a clamping groove (20), a pair of outlying strings (34a,34b). The device provides a good vibration dampening on the outer part of the string area, for dampening off center hits, whereas the center main strings remain lively and resilient. <IMAGE>
