Question 1

How much weight does this add to the racket? It looks pretty bulky? Does it change the weighting of the rackets?

Accepted Answer

Hi Doug -

Thanks for reaching out - I'm one of the founders of ADV and happy to help. The largest dampener (Sorb, 6 strings) is 0.24 oz, the middle dampener (Sorb, 4 strings) is 0.18 oz, and the smallest dampener (Touch, 2 strings) is 0.21 oz. This is pretty typical of most dampeners at those sizes.

We worked hard to get the perfect silicone composite and density to maximize dampening without adding significant weight. It’s worth mentioning that all dampeners will add a bit of weight but usually have a minimal effect on the racket balance because the dampener is placed at the balance point of the racket. The nice thing is with ADV dampeners you can test each type to see what is ideal for your playing style, racket, and strings.

Hope this helps and please don’t hesitate to reach out with anymore questions.

Question 2

I ordered 3 of the sorb marble and received 3 crystal touches (returning)....why is there not a 3-pack of black sorbs available to order?

Accepted Answer

We do create 3 pack of black Sorbs but they are currently sold out. They will be back in stock between 6-8 weeks from now. Sorry about that.

Question 3

can you write on it with a sharpie?

Accepted Answer

Hi Tom - Yes, you should be able to write on it with a sharpie. Curious, are you planning to write tips on it?

Question 4

What does it mean to go from 100% "feel" with the smallest dampener to 25% "feel" with the largest dampener?  Is this about the vibrations felt?

Accepted Answer

Hi WH - Great question! The more feel you have, the more crispness there is to each shot. We did a lot of testing and surveying - many players didn't want too much dampening and wanted some more of the natural crisp, ping sound and feel. So we decided to give everyone the option to choose what sensation they prefer between dampening/muting and feel/crispness. The Touch dampeners will give more vibration than the Sorb or Max Sorb. I hope this helps!

Thanks
