Product Description
Due to the differences in the vibration frequencies in different rackets and strings, players that are sensitive to the equipment changes can feel pain in their wrist, elbow and their shoulders. Shocksorb may help reduce the bad frequencies of the vibrations and shock generated by the ball striking the strings of the racket. Sorbothane core absorbs the bad frequencies but allows the player to feel the unique satisfying "pop" due to the special properties of the material. (Experience may vary)
Sorbothane is a proprietary, visco-elastic polymer. Sorbothane is a thermoset, polyether-based, polyurethane material. In addition to being visco-elastic, Sorbothane also has a very high damping coefficient. Sorbothane combines shock absorption, good memory, vibration isolation and vibration damping characteristics. While many materials exhibit one of these characteristics, Sorbothane combines all of them in a stable material with a long fatigue life. Sorbothane has a low creep rate compared to other polymers (rubber, neoprene, silicone, etc.) Sorbothane has a superior damping coefficient, over a very wide temperature range, compared to any other polymer. Sorbothane’s operating temperature range is -20° to +160° Fahrenheit. Unlike fluid-based shock absorbers or foam products, Sorbothane absorbs shocks efficiently for millions of cycles. Sorbothane eliminates the need for metal springs to return the system to its equilibrium position after absorbing a shock. Information provided by Sorbothane
Sorbothane has many industrial applications, from acoustic shielding to machine mounts. Sorbothane has been used by NASA to isolate vibration, in the Air Force Memorial, and to transport the Liberty Bell. Because of its unique ability to dramatically diminish shock waves and maintain its shape under stress, Sorbothane has shown promise in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis, also known as tennis elbow, and medial epicondylitis, or golfer's elbow. wikipedia
