Every racquet manufacturing company has the right to name features of their racquets in a unique way, even though they may be designating the same concept for which another company has given another name. Dunlop uses the term "vibration dampening system"; another company uses the term "shock-dampening design". Same concept, different name.  3, record 1, English, - vibration%20dampening%20device

En todo choque suele existir pérdida de energía cinética, ya sea a causa de las deformaciones permanentes, ya por la oscilación de las moléculas apartadas momentáneamente de su posición de equilibrio por el golpe. Estas pérdidas dan lugar a la producción de sonidos y de calor.  1, record 2, Spanish, - choque

Width of the racquet frame beam.  1, record 3, English, - frame%20profile

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS

There are many ways of rendering the concept of "profilé" in English. If the width of the profile changes from one spot on the racquet to another, then the term "beam" is preferred, e.g. tapered beam design for the all round game. If one wants to specify that the beam is narrow, regular or conventional (i.e. not a wide-body), the term "frame", as in "narrow frame" or "conventional-width frame" is preferred. When one speaks of a "conventional frame", one implies that the profile or beam is constant, straight and narrow. Related terms: shaft, frame cross section.  1, record 3, English, - frame%20profile
