The OG!

The original that’s been used forever! As long as you want your racket really dampened, then this is the dampener to have.

Actually works!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Don't waste your money on those goofy little plastic dampeners. They can come off at the most inopportune times and do nothing for the feel of your racket. The Shockbuster weaves between several strings and clips in place. Even if it comes unclipped it will not fall out until you have time to repair or replace. And you will definitely notice the change in the feel of your racket!

Full dampening, the only problem is that they break frequently, I have to replace it maybe once a week.

Provides complete dampening, I have been using it for years. No other dampener comes close.

A friend of mine gave me one of these last year, and now I use them in all of my rackets. They are great!

seems to work well but with our weather (cold) the plastic tends to break easily.

Really like this product. I like the size of it. It stays on very well! We liked it so well we purchased a second one!

It Will Not Stay Put

I have tried every possible permutation on how to incorporate this product into the string bed. All of them fail due to the hook slipping off the strings.

Love Gamma Dampeners!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I've been using the original Gamma dampeners for the past 4-5 years and really like them. They really soften the impact which really helped my elbow. I've tried various dampeners to see if they'd be better than the Gamma dampeners. Nope... So, I have Gamma dampeners on all my rackets. Decided to try the double dampening design with my new string, which are a little stiffer. The combination works nicely together. I got a couple of extra original dampeners as back-ups. Love the Gamma dampeners!

Nice!

The dampener works very well and stops most of the vibration. Only problem that I have had so far is that the clips have come off the stings recently.

Disappointed
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

I purchased 2 of these dampeners. They felt great! However, one of the ends broke after playing a short while. I thought they should be a bit more durable than this.

Not bad

Does the trick, but tends to break at the connectors.

Happy elbow

Works great!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I really like how these cover the entire racquet and not just the center of the string bed. Hitting the ball a bit off center doesn't affect having the dampener in place. And the don't "fly off" like the little round ones do.

Like these better
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

These cover the strings better than the single "dot" type of dampener.

Awesome dampener
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I love these vibration dampeners, best ones on the market. They cover more area of the racket so they are more effective than the smaller button style ones. Highly recommended.

Best Dampener!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I have purchased many of these dampeners over the years, and they are the BEST in my opinion! Some people have complained about the leakage, but it's an easy fix to just cut off the end, clean and re-insert the clip.. and they last forever!

Not as good as they used to be
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

The Gamma Shockbuster has long been my favorite vibration dampener. Unfortunately, they are not as good as they used to be. They are a bit thinner and smaller, and seem less durable. Still a good product, but they don't make 'em like they used to.
