IMPACT → VIBRATION TRAVELS → SHOCKSTOP DAMPENS → KEEP PLAYING
Every shot creates impact. ShockStop is designed to help manage the vibration and repeated stresses associated with racket and paddle sports — starting at the handle and continuing through the wrist.
Whether you play padel, tennis, pickleball, squash or badminton, repeated ball strikes can transmit vibration through the racket or paddle, into the hand, wrist and forearm.
ShockStop takes a two-stage approach: improving the connection between your hand and the handle, while providing targeted support and vibration dampening at the wrist.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HIT THE BALL?
Every time the ball makes contact with your racket or paddle, mechanical energy is created at the point of impact.
Some of that energy contributes to the movement of the ball. Some is transmitted through the racket frame and down through the handle towards your hand.
From there, vibration can continue through the wrist and forearm.
One shot may seem insignificant. But during a match or training session, a player can repeat the same movement hundreds of times. Off-centre hits, harder shots, long rallies and repeated play can all increase the amount of vibration and impact experienced by the hand and arm.
This is why grip comfort, wrist stability and vibration management are important considerations for racket-sport players.
SHOCKSTOP WORKS AT TWO KEY CONTACT POINTS
Rather than focusing on just one area, the ShockStop system addresses two important points between the racket and the player: the handle and the wrist.
1 — THE HANDLE: YOUR FIRST POINT OF CONTACT
The ShockStop Sweat & Shock-Absorbent Overgrip creates a cushioned interface between your hand and the racket or paddle handle.
Its perforated, sweat-absorbent construction is designed to help manage moisture while providing a comfortable, secure gripping surface. The additional cushioning also helps manage some of the shock and vibration generated at impact before it reaches the hand.
A more secure grip can also help reduce the temptation to squeeze the handle unnecessarily tightly as your hands become hot or sweaty.
More grip. More comfort. Less distraction.
Suitable for padel, tennis, pickleball, squash, badminton and other racket sports.
2 — THE WRIST: THE NEXT LINK IN THE CHAIN
After vibration passes through the handle and hand, the wrist is the next major connection point.
The ShockStop Wrist Support combines adjustable compression and wrist support with dual silicone dampening elements positioned within the support.
These silicone elements are designed to help absorb and disperse vibration around the wrist, while the adjustable wrap provides a secure, personalised level of support.
Unlike a conventional wrist brace intended primarily to restrict movement, ShockStop has been developed with racket-sport performance in mind. The objective is to provide support while remaining practical and comfortable during play.
FROM BALL IMPACT TO YOUR WRIST
This would be the ideal point for the diagram you suggested:
BALL IMPACT → RACKET / PADDLE → SHOCKSTOP OVERGRIP → HAND → SHOCKSTOP WRIST SUPPORT
Underneath the diagram, I would add:
MANAGING VIBRATION ALONG THE CHAIN
Shock and vibration don't simply occur at the elbow. They originate at the point where the ball meets the racket or paddle and travel through the equipment towards the player.
That's why ShockStop's approach begins before the vibration reaches the arm.
The overgrip provides the first layer of cushioning and grip at the handle. The wrist support provides the second layer of targeted support and dampening at the wrist.
Together, they create a simple two-stage system designed specifically around the demands of racket and paddle sports.
WHY DUAL DAMPENING?
Inside the ShockStop Wrist Support are two silicone dampening elements.
Silicone is flexible and resilient, allowing the dampening zones to compress and respond as the wrist experiences movement and vibration during play.
Their purpose is not to immobilise the wrist. Instead, they form part of a support system designed to combine compression, stability, comfort and vibration management while allowing the player to continue moving naturally.
This makes ShockStop particularly suited to repetitive racket-sport movements where feel and freedom of movement remain important.
WHY VIBRATION MANAGEMENT MATTERS
Padel and other racket sports involve thousands of rapid movements: serves, volleys, smashes, defensive shots, off-centre impacts and quick changes of direction.
The individual forces may be small, but they are repeated again and again.
For players who train regularly or play several times each week, equipment that improves grip security, comfort and wrist support can therefore become an important part of their playing setup.
ShockStop has been developed around a straightforward principle:
Manage vibration closer to where it enters the body.
TWO PRODUCTS. ONE SYSTEM.
The ShockStop Sweat & Shock-Absorbent Overgrip works at the handle.
The ShockStop Wrist Support works at the wrist.
Used together, they provide two complementary layers of grip, cushioning, support and vibration management — without changing the way you play.
