2019 Yonex VCore Pro 330 grommets

[Chopin]

Well, I need to replace the bumper on my 2019 Yonex VCore Pro 330 16x19. Any idea if the 2018 ones are compatible or if the 2019 HD bumper is the same? I don't understand why the 2019 is not available anywhere but older and newer ones are...thanks in advance for your help.

Unsure but HD bumper definitely not. HD is 18x20

The Dark blue/orange should have identical grommets as the dark green/gold one, 330g and 310g should be identical as well

I don't know where you plan to order the grommets, but Yonex has run out of spare grommets for all models in all of Europe and they will reportedly have them in stock in two months at the earliest. I couldn't believe it either, but I've been trying to find grommets for VCP97 in Europe for a week now.

I was able to find them from a competing tennis website, which had 1 left in stock. It's odd because there were 5+ left in stock last night and today when I went to order today there was only 1 left.

I played on a terrible court yesterday (easily the worst I've ever played on), and it's super easy to mangle the bumper on this court. I'm usually gentle on racquets (the type of player who has never had a paint chip), but this court is hopeless if you're competitively going for a low ball. In the future I'll probably just use the BLX Wilson Pro Staff I got for $15 at an estate sale while playing on that court. The good news is the bumper guard did it's job and protected the frame.

Good luck finding them. Yonex makes great products no doubt, but the lack of grommets for older racquets is an issue.
