Since not all players use shock dampeners, not all tennis racquet manufacturers place them on the racquet, though some will put one or two in a small bag attached to new racquets, so that the player may decide whether or not to use it.

Why are tennis racquets so expensive?
Tennis racquets are initially very expensive because consumers like to buy new models, which tend to cost more; in that respect, tennis racquets are similar to cars in the eyes of the consumer. Within a few months of the racquets' sales, the prices tend to come down. By the end of the tennis season (i.e., winter), the prices could be as low as 50% off the original price, if not lower, depending on the given make and model's popularity (i.e., the less popular, the more the price should fall). However, used, demonstration, and remainder racquets might be sold at substantially reduced prices by retailers who want to clear their shelves. For the record, the average tennis player should not need to spend more than $150 on a brand new racquet, and there are plenty of good models available for under $100.
Where is the best place to buy table tennis raquets?
Table tennis racquets can be bought from a number of well regarded businesses. It will ultimately come down to what you're looking for specifically. Amazon and Killerspin are just two examples.
What size tennis racquet works best?
The size of tennis racquet you choose is really a personal preference. Basically, tennis racquets come in a mid-size and oversize. The mid-size racquet has a smaller tennis face and less surface area of tennis strings. Mid-size racquets are more compact and usually lighter. They are easier to swing and move around quickly. Serve and volley type players often prefer the smaller mid-size racquet. An oversize racquet has a large surface area of tennis strings. This can make the racquet feel heavier and it is more difficult to swing the racquet around quickly. However, the "sweet" spot on the racquet is larger. The sweet spot is where you want the ball to hit your strings more maximum effectiveness. Players that hug the baseline tend to enjoy using an oversize racquet. You can always "demo" different racquets at your tennis club to see which size is best for you. Your tennis pro can also give you great reccomendations.
Tennis Clothing & Equipment?
Tennis is a truly unique sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and physical abilities. It is a family friendly sport that can last a lifetime. Many people who were introduced to the game in their childhood, continue to play it well past retirement. It’s a good idea for tennis players to select the right tennis clothing and equipment as early as possible. Wearing the proper apparel and playing with the right racquets can make a huge difference in your tennis game. There is a huge selection of tennis clothing available in today’s sporting retailers and stores. There are so many different styles and colors of clothes that appeal to every type of player. People also love to dress up in the same clothing as their favorite tennis players. For example, Rafael Nadal has created a huge fashion trend with his sleeveless shirts and long shorts that cover the knees. On the women’s side, Maria Sharapova’s fashionable dresses have been highly sought after by female tennis players. However, style is not the most important feature of tennis clothing. Tennis players should be concerned with how comfortable their clothing is. It’s recommended that tennis players wear clothing specifically designed to absorb sweat. Many tennis shirts and shorts are made of Dri-Fit material, which is excellent at absorbing moisture and cooling off the body. Extra side vents on a tennis shirt will also be helpful in cooling off players. Tennis shirts made of polyester may not offer sweat absorption and cooling, leaving players soaking wet and very uncomfortable. Since tennis is an outdoor sport, Ultraviolet protection is another feature to consider when shopping for clothes. Tennis equipment consists of Racquets, overgrips, strings, vibration dampeners, and other items. Tennis racquets come in a variety of head sizes, typically between 90 to 120 square inches. There is also a wide range of racquet weights, usually between 200 and 400 grams. Beginner and medium level tennis players should use the lightest racquets with large head sizes. Advanced tennis players typically use heavier racquets with smaller head sizes for more power and precision. Tennis strings play an important role in the accuracy of your shots. Tennis strings can either be made of natural gut or synthetics. Natural gut strings provide a lot of topspin on the ball and they are often used by professionals, but are not recommended for recreational players. Synthetic strings are less expensive and more durable. When it comes to overgrips, tennis players should use grips that offer maximum sweat absorption and softness. If you don’t select the right overgrip, you may get blisters often and have your Racquet slip out of your hands.
Are HEAD tennis rackets cheap?
When you use the term 'cheap', it's hard to tell if you mean bad quality or inexpensive. If you are concerned about the quality of a brand of racquet, I would talk to tennis pros about your concerns and have them help you find the best racquet for your needs. If it's a matter of price, then you can find several models of Head tennis racquets that would be considered by most tennis players to be at the lower end of the price scale for below $50 US. These include from most to least expensive as follows: the Head PCT Speed, Ti.Radical Elite, Tour Pro and Ti.Conquest. The price range for these is about $24-49 US. These racquets would be appropriate for recreational tennis players who just want to go to the court and play for fun and exercise and don't have any visions of dethroning Novak Djokvic as the world's top ranked player. They come pre-strung, so you don't have to worry about getting the racquet strung and what tension it needs to be at or what type of string to use. Great for beginners! You will find numerous models of Head tennis racquets in the $50-100 range, the next step up from the aforementioned entry level models. It would be impractical to list all of them here, but some models include the Ti S1, several Microgel models, the Liquidmetal 8 and Youtek Extreme Pro. The remainder of Head tennis racquets are beyond the cheap range. You need to do even more research with this class of racquets to find one that's right for you, because if you're wrong, it's too costly to get a replacement.
