Love these dampeners!
No more searching for my dampeners in the ground after they get hit by a ball: these dampeners are super stable and always stay in my racket. The dampening also adds great comfort. I use a Babolat Pure Drive which is a not so arm-friendly racket, and this dampener really helps muting the vibrations. The color is not as vivid as in the pictures (I ordered the green one), but still looks decent on my strings.

For Oversize Racquets w/ Open String Patterns Only
I have put one of the three square damps on each of two racquets, a Prince and a Babolat, which both have 100 sq.in. heads (midplus). The damps push the two center mains apart on both racquets, so I can only conclude that these are made for oversize racquets specifically with open string patterns, which would have a little more space between the mains.I'm sure ADV is a good brand that means well, but I can't reconcile their lack of brand presence and neglect of indicating that this product is catered to a specific racquet class. For that in addition to the fact that they don’t fit well on a mid plus racquet with 16 mains (read: most common racquet form factor), I knock off a star. But in brief use with the Babolat, it performed just fine.If you are a beginning player or on the smaller/weaker side of human variation, you probably want to be using an oversize racquet with an open pattern anyway, for added power. These dampeners will work well for you, and I really must recommend them for the channel-locking structure that clamps around the string—you won't have to worry much about the damp falling off during games.

Great for absorption differences between racquets!
At a certain point in your growth as a tennis player, the feel of the racquet becomes important - especially if you are prone to soreness in your arm from overuse, like I used to be. Eventually, I bought some standard dampeners with the assumption that they are all pretty much the same.When a friend introduced me to these dampeners by ADV Tennis, however, I was extremely impressed with the variability in feel that these provide. I rotate between two types of racquets that vary widely in the absorption that they provide, which can throw me off when switching between them. The ADV dampeners have helped to reduce this variability and allow me to play consistently in the event that I need to change racquets in the middle of a match/lesson.Here are the racquets that I currently use and the dampeners that work best for them:WILSON BURN 100 (circa 2015/2016):This is my favorite racquet to play with. I can get some solid hits on the ball with a lot of top spin, but this iteration of the Burn series has low-to-medium shock absorption. I have been using the 1 Sorb (the "medium" dampener) with this racquet, and it has been working out really well. If I were to upgrade to the newer line of Wilson Burns, however, I would probably go with a dampener of a lower absorption as the new racquets do pretty well in this regard.HEAD GRAPHENE XT RADICAL PRO (newest model):I typically use this as a back-up, although it is, by all accounts, a very good racquet. The good thing about the Graphene racquet is that it absorbs shock pretty well. I find that when I am in good form and hitting my shots hard with a lot of top spin, however, I need some extra absorption with this racquet to make sure that I do not end up with an overuse injury. For the Graphene Radical Pro, I use the 1 Touch (the "lowest" dampener) to provide the small adjustment in shock absorption that I need.Overall, I am very happy with these dampeners. My only issue with them so far is that they are difficult to insert into the Graphene Pro's 16x19 string pattern, but I would rather put a little extra effort into inserting the dampener into a tight space than having a dampener that could fall off at any moment. (So far, none of the ADV dampeners have come close to falling off - unlike my old "standard" dampeners.)

Beast of a dampner!
This is a heavy duty dampner. No way will it ever pop off while playing. A little tough to get on the strings but once on it will stay there until the next stringing. I like how it will never fly off like the other smaller ones that are sold. A little bit pricey but it should last forever.

Best vibration dampener on the market!
I am a 5.0 tennis player and I tried every one of the vibration dampeners made by ADV. One thing that sets these dampeners apart from others is that they are grooved so that it fits flush on the last cross string(snaps in place). By having this groove, the dampeners will not fall off the racket like others that I have tried. Once in place, they will not move until you physically take them out! Big plus!Out of the three dampeners, 2,4 and 6 string, I like the 4 the best. I get a very soft response and very good vibration absorption when I hit the ball. Putting on the dampener for the first time takes a minute, but once you do it is no problem and easy to do. Tip on putting on. The dampener has inscribed on it in the middle ADV, as long as the ADV is upright then you have put it on correctly.My racket is: The Babolat Pure Strike 16x19 98sq.in. String that I use is Volkl Cyclone 18 gauge strung at 48lbs on constant speed pull stringer.My advice to you tennis aficionados is to give them a try and maybe down the road ADV will allow you to purchase a three pack of the dampeners that you prefer as well as the three pack of 2,4 and6.

Not better than other dampeners
This is a good dampener, but it is not better than any other good one out there that costs half the price.Positive aspects: It does what it claims very well. It stays in place (middle and bigger sizes).Negatives: It is expensive and it is much heavier than other dampeners. The middle size is 5.5 grams, which will increase your swing weight by about 4-5 points putting it at the bottom of the stringbed. It would not affect the balance much though.
