besides that hahaha
The grip? 3 Choices.
1.) .8 mm Kimony leather replacement grip http://kimonyusa.com/TechniLeather.html
2.) Remove all grips and mark all 8 sides with a marker. Shave down each side until the marker disappears.
3.) Buy or trade for the same racquet with the right grip.
I chose option 1 for one of my old Radicals from high school I dusted off. It works.

I’ve never tried this before. Will option 1 really reduce a grip 2 sizes? I can see it reducing it a little more than a half size.

If you are really good with a planar tool, go for it!

You could take it to a specialist woodworking shop. I bet they have a planer that could shave off very smoothly to desired thickness. I was thinking about this myself but my hand planer was too uneven if not taking time. An electric one would be much more precise than any other method imo.

Great idea buddy I would look for that shop.
