The replacement grip's too old and that's probably what caused it to fly out of my hand in the first place. I could salvage the grommet.

To be fair, I haven't replaced them in several months.

My racket flew out of my hand in the middle of a serve. It hit the court hard and made an awfully loud sound. I know hoping that it could be fixed is wishful thinking but I would really appreciate any help. Here are the pictures:

I have noticed Dominic Thiem isn't using his usual Orange Rpm Blast and Natural string hybrid at Indian Wells. He is using some all white string crossed with maybe some Natural string. What are these new strings???? Pic...
