I also do not care for the string leeches I have tried the small ones and the big ones and they don't work that well, espicialy when they get old the rubber gets hard and there goes any absorbing of vibration. I do believe however in the limbsavers but you have to replace them after a while to because they get hard. I think I might ty the new rubber puff ball silencers I havent tried them yet. I am on some sort of mission to find the best silencers, maybe I will end up going back to the good old yarn puff balls as well.
