HEAD Zverev Tennis Dampener

The HEAD Zverev Dampener is the exact dampener Alexander Zverev uses, made from a silicone and rubber blend that sits between the two central main strings and takes the sting out of every ball you hit.

The job of a dampener is narrower than most people assume — it won't change how your racquet plays or reduce shock through the handle, but it does kill the high-frequency ping off the stringbed. For a lot of players that's the difference between a stringbed that feels harsh and one that feels solid, and if you've come off a poly setup wondering why the ball sounds so brittle, this is the cheapest fix there is.

Finished in exclusive white with Zverev's personal logo, it's a small piece of his setup that costs almost nothing — and the one part of a pro's kit that plays the same in your hands as it does in his.
