Is it possible to put a Prestige grommet on another racket?

Drew24 · 12-27-2012, 02:53 PM

I'm looking to replace my grommet on my Head Youtek IG Extreme MP and my Microgel Radical MP..And I really like the Prestige's grommet. Is it possible for it to fit on these two rackets?

No way on the Extreme. People have managed to fit Prestige C.A.P System Grommets on the Radical MP.

Yep, I tried fitting the Prestige MP headguards straight to the radical and I gave up in the end.

No luck on the extremes, but you might try adding head guard tape around the outer hoop, but it wouldn't give much protection. A couple of layers might imitate the weight and distribution of the CAPs on the Prestige, but ultimately it wouldn't give as much protection from scrapes as the CAP grommets do.

I see...Thanks for the replies guys! I'll probably test my luck and spend some time to try and fit the Cap grommets on the Radical then.
