A one-eyed cyclops staring back at you from the bottom of your strings — a small piece of personality on a piece of gear most players never give a second thought.

Like all string dampeners, it slots between the bottom two main strings and quiets the ping when the ball comes off the strings. Soft silicone construction. Comes as a 2-pack so you can stash a spare in your bag (they're easy to lose).

Good gift for:

• A junior player who's into Greek myths or monster movies
• The doubles partner whose racquet still looks naked at the throat
• A stocking stuffer paired with a fresh set of overgrips
