Babolat grommets in a Wilson racket

I like Babolat's woofer system. Is it possible to use the grommet set for a Babolat Pure Drive in a Wilson Pro Staff Surge? From what I've heard the two frames are identical.

No. If you look at the way the frames are drilled, you will see that these frames are very different. Babolat's crosses are drilled at such an angle the the strings go straight through without bending the grommet where the Surge's cross grommets are bent to match the angle of the string. This straight grommet is great for stringing ease, but makes changing the B/G kits a royal pain in the glutes.

There's other reasons this exchange wouldn't work, but the long and short of it is no.

thats true actually, i never reallized why, but changing bab grommets is a pain in the as#. they just dont go in unless you shove them with an awl, and when one side goes in, the other pops out.
