Gamma Shockbuster vs Wilson Blade 98 16x19 v10 vs Wilson Pro Feel Dampener

The original worm dampener. It weaves across the mains and turns ping into a dead "thwack" for $4.99, so it's the max-mute pick if you want quiet over feel. It costs you string feedback, and the end clips are the weak point.

The Blade that finally keeps up with modern club pace without ditching the feel that made the line famous.

The club-default Wilson button dampener—light mute, keeps more string feel than a worm, optional for anyone who likes an open bed—grab the 2-pack if you want the quiet W look, skip it if dampeners aren’t your taste.
