How To Reduce Racquet Noise?

I own tennis and badminton racquets and they make irritating echo noises because of the aluminum. the shock absorber doesn't help reduce the noise and the echo noise gets in the way of hearing a nice "plop" sound when i hit the tennis ball or shuttlecock. does anyone know what i need to do to reduce or get rid of the noise? i dont want to change strings or switch to graphite raqcuets.





thanks!|||Get real. Aluminium racquets are such old material that why bother to consider them. The are currently sold as a cheap $20 racquet for little kids who don;t have the power to realyl felx a frame. Even for kids, most manufacturers offer a premium carbon fibre or fused titanium model. The Aluminium racquets offers for adults are basically offered by low price "big box" stores to sucker you into thinking you are getting a "tennis racuqet".|||Richard is right. Aluminum racquets are highly outdated since the 80s. I honesty think you should just switch to another racquet.





But if anything, get a special dampener called the Babolat RVS. The dampener doesn't just take out vibration from the strings, but the frame itself. It may help a bit.|||Do not have your racket restrung as the strings would be worth more than your racket. Save your money and upgrade as soon as you can. The rackets today make it so much easier to play. Call around some places let you demo for free. Check a few rackets out.|||Tighten your strings.

Is it true that the most recent astronauts have all returned to earth suffering from impotence?

NASA call it shuttlecock|||Reentry's always been tricky|||It is scary thinking that NASA staff don't know how to stand their missiles up straight.|||But will they ever be able to play badminton again?

Which bird's feathers are used for badminton shuttlecocks?

haha- you said shuttlecocks!|||Plastic ones.|||The best feather badminton shuttlecocks are made from wing feathers from a goose. Second grade shuttlecocks are made from duck wing feathers.|||Goose Feathers





A shuttlecock is a high-drag projectile used in the sport of badminton. It has an open conical shape, with a rounded head at the apex of the cone traditionally made of cork and a skirt traditionally of sixteen overlapping goose feathers.





For most casual players, the cork-and-feather construction has been replaced by the use of a plastic (usually nylon) or rubber head and a plastic (usually nylon) skirt. The feather shuttlecock is still used by serious players and for competitions. The feathered variety is more expensive and far more likely to break during a match.|||Shuttlecocks are traditionally made from 16 goose feathers which are taken from under the same bird's wing and then cleaned, cut and attached to a base of Portuguese cork.

I search online for the antonym of these words, but I just couldn't find them, so can someone help me?

What are the antonym of these words?


1)magistrate


2)concubine


3)gunnel


4)skiff


5)shuttlecock


6)promontory


7)frond


8)gout





Thanks!!|||Not every noun has an "antonym", where did you get this strange list? Look up the definitions and go from there; I can't imagine that there is a true "antonym" to "shuttlecock" or to "gout". |||They are nouns. That's why.

Where can i buy feather shuttlecocks in Swansea City?
