Now you can show your emotions..on your racket.

Facts: No need to text your tennis partner—or opponent—your feelings before the match; let your racquet do the talking. The Emotisorb expresses your emotion on your strings.

The smiley face emoticon, created by a Carnegie Mellon computer scientist, celebrated its 30th birthday on September 21st, and Wilson has a varied selection of Emotisorb dampeners, including the familiar smiley face, as well as winking, angry (bright red), puzzled, and cool (sporting sunglasses) emotisorbs. Impressions: Whether you feel stress or bliss on court, it’s comforting to know there’s an emotisorb to convey your emotions.

Staring at a racquet face with an embedded emotisorb can bring a smile to the face of even the most intense competitor. The dampeners are ideal for juniors, doubles partners and chronic texters.
