Abstract: This study focuses on the need for vibration damping in various sports that include hand held equipment and deals with Impact loads (Tennis, Golf, Cricket, Pole Vault, and Badminton). Sports in these days draw huge crowd in turn huge money and the perspective has changed from hobby to profession. Many professional sports are highly competitive where millions of dollars depend on reactions in one-tenth of a second or a centimeter variation. To provide a player with this kind of precision, the equipment they use must react as per the instincts of the player without causing him/her discomfort. This is where damping technology plays a major role. This study also sheds light on different methods of vibration damping and how such a method was inculcated into the field of sports.
