The HEAD Xtra Damp Tennis Dampener (Black) is a performance-oriented, soft-rubber vibration dampener designed to provide extra shock absorption and muting on ball contact.

Distinguished by its signature triangular/shield-like shape, the Xtra Damp is crafted from an ultra-soft elastomeric rubber compound. The black colorway provides a clean, low-profile cosmetic that seamlessly matches any racquet and string combination.

It installs between the two central main strings directly below the bottom cross string. Its extra-flexible rubber formulation is engineered specifically to dissipate harsh string bed chatter and lower peak impact shock.

Performance Profile

  1. Vibration & Shock Absorption: Very High. Uses a softer elastomer compound compared to standard rigid button dampeners, effectively neutralizing frame vibrations and string flutter.
  2. Arm Comfort: Enhanced Protection. Helps buffer kinetic feedback, making it an excellent choice for players looking to mitigate wrist and elbow fatigue.
  3. Acoustics: Deep & Muted. Deadens metallic string resonance into a solid, low-pitched impact sound without harsh ringing.
  4. Fit & Stability: Secure. Deep side channels grip the two central main strings securely to prevent the dampener from popping off during off-center hits or heavy topspin shots.

Best Suited For

  1. Players Prone to Joint Discomfort: Excellent choice for players seeking extra arm protection against tennis elbow or repetitive shock.
  2. Stiff Co-Polymer & Hybrid Setups: Ideal for softening the harsh feedback associated with modern stiff polyester strings.
  3. Stealth/Minimalist Aesthetics: Perfect for players who prefer a clean, all-black look without bright pop-out colors on their frame.
