Gamma Shockbuster vs Wilson Pro Feel Dampener vs Wilson Ultra 100L v5

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 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.

The lighter version of the Ultra 100, at 280 g unstrung and swingweight 310, with easy power and spin for improving players, but it runs out of stability against heavy balls and costs full flagship money.
