I suppose it depends on the bow as to how much difference you will experience. I will say that it did wonders for my pantera. I can honestly say that i couldnt ask for a quieter bow now. except for a guardian...lol. Its not only the dampening ability that I like. Its the fact that you know your string cant slap your arm when your bundled up in the late season.I think its deffinatly worth the money.
