Racket vibration dampener combined with grommet strip

摘要

A dampening mechanism for sports implements such as tennis rackets comprising an elongated vibratable member formed of an elastomeric, energy absorbing material. The vibrational member is integral with a grommet strip which mates with the underside of the yoke of the racket and the string holes therethrough. The unit is held firmly to the frame, with the vibrational member fixed within the throat of the frame below the yoke, by the strings when the racket is strung.
