Default Would Head CAP grommets fit on solinco pro 7, 8, 10...?

Solinco racquets really look like they have sahre the same mold as the head radical racquets, does someone knows if they are drilled the same as head racquets?

I will have an unstrung Solinco coming in next week. Before I string it for the first time, I will see if the head cap grommets fit. I wil weigh them as well
so you can see the change.......

Pulled off the grommets on a new Solinco Pro8 today.
Tried to fit Head Liquid Metal CAP grommets.
The drill pattern is basically identical. The holes for the grommets on the
Solinco are slightly too small to allow the CAP's to fit.
I guess that it would be a simple job, to measure the cap grommet shafts, and drill the frame holes ever so slight larger to fit.
Caveat emptor............

You might want to try MG/YT Prestige Grommets because the grommet barrels are narrower. The holes on the Microgel and YT Prestige are narrower.
