Micro-mechanical Damper

Sandwich Tech's Micro-mechanical Damper reduces specific modes of ski vibration that affect edge hold without losing the higher frequency, lively feedback.

Advantages

• Combines both micro-mechanical and constrained layer damping mechanisms
• Directional loss factors for a damping effect that is focused on specific vibration modes
• Isolated modes of vibration prevents overdamping higher frequencies that provide lively feedback
• Embedded into the ski for durability and consistency

Understanding the vibrations of a ski starts with understanding the effects of amplitude, frequency, and decay. Often misunderstood - only decay is a true damping effect. Equally as important is understanding that damping certain frequencies improves edge-hold, but other frequencies provide lively feedback that you do not want to lose.
