Do they keep the strings aligned too ??

[YULitle]

@Chipinjack Nope. If anything, they make it worse.

It's not too late if you are able to comment on youtube using terms such as "lol."

This is so funny to me. I've been playing tennis since 1969. My kids laugh when I tell them I was the last generation to play in long white pants. THIS YEAR was the first time ever I've heard of string savers! I think it's too late in life for me to begin using them now...lol

@YULitle According to my knowledge because I've put string savers on my racquet, they do keep the strings alinged...

I was thinking that applying string savers would be a complicated process. As I turned on my computer to watch this video, I tried applying them myself. It was EASY. Haahh now I cant wait to get my racquet strung with natural gut and see how well these savers work :D

It does not dampen any vibration, it actually make string a little bit stiffer. (think about there is harder plastic between the strings. You will need dampener if you use it originally. It definitely does save string by as much as 2x durable. Some people like it, some people don't. I'm not a big fan of the savers, it's kinda increasing pressure to my arm. You should give it a try, you might like it.

Hi do these damp as well as any dampener or i should use a dampener as well

Thanks

Its just an elastic band tied around the strings, works as a string dampener, but dirt cheap!

[plstrom]

do you know what is that rubber/elastic all about?

not the anti-vib rubber thing, the elastic that agassi or sharapova and roddick (to name a few) are using.

This technology has been out for more then 15 years. It's pretty smart and it actually works.

Though I don't use it my self I know some people that do. I prefer to pop my strings after some use. You lose tension over time anyways.

But this does work. I tried ONCE while I played high school tennis and I used to break strings every 1~2 weeks. My tensions were usually at 66 ~ 68. The 1 racket with the savers lasted the whole school year. But then again it was my 3rd racket and hardly used.

When you are applying the string savers, can you snap the string if you're separating the two strings apart?
