So, I am probably just being paranoid but I just bought a brand new Wilson nCode N5 and along with that I bought a Wilson Shock Trap Shock Absorber. Now I am just wondering if I should have gotten the nCode Shock absorber, or if this one will work, even though it is really tight on the strings to the point of where it is hard to get on. Is it bad that it is putting pressure on the strings to the point where they move a little bit where I put the absorber on, or is it supposed to do that? Now was I even supposed to get anything other then the nCode shock absorber in the first place? Or is it O.K that I just got the normal Wilson Shock Trap for it. It’s an odd question but I don’t want something weird to happen to a $220 racket. 
Thanks!
No, you can use whatever brand you want. It doesn’t matter at all. Shock absorbers dampen the feel of the vibrations when you hit the ball. Also, all dampeners are hard to get on. It’s like that with all rackets. Don’t worry, it won’t affect the strings at all. Do not worry if you break your strings, too. You get your rackets restrung for about 15 bucks, and it’s a good thing b/c it means you’re spinning the ball.

this isnt the soviet union…you can do whatever you want.
i’m sure it will be fine, even though i’ve never been a big supporter of shock absorbers. i’ve never found them to work. the only good they do is deaden the sound of the strings.
But if you feel the need to use one, it shouldnt do anything to your racket
