Won't a Head style buttcap fit your Yonex or be made to fit with minor mods like 2-part epoxy, etc?What's a good way to make it more like a Head style buttcap?
I love my new Yonex Ezone 98 but hate the flat buttcap. What's a good way to make it more like a Head style buttcap?
I switched to this method and really like it. Takes a little while to get the hang of it, but totally worth it.

I will try that. Is it harder to get started? Holding the fold is the tougher part and being a .25 might make it harder.What I dont like about it is that the flare is too wide, so I adjusted that I dont fold the overgrip in half anymore, but rather 1:4. Also helps with reducing wrinkles in the first wraps
it may be just a bit harder to maintain an absolutely equal width of the fold part, but I am not sure, if some unevenness is bad or noticeable at allI will try that. Is it harder to get started? Holding the fold is the tougher part and being a .25 might make it harder.
I looked at that as an option, but it looked too big.Tourna power cap. I use Yonex and this basically converts their silly butt caps to a usable one
As mentioned, I quite like this method as it can be tailored for a smooth slope from flared to normal circumferences.
That was likely me:Someone in other forum try the wilson buttcap and work just as good and you can alwaus put your yonex green cap on the new buttcap.
Great advise! It was late for me but still a great fix to create that flare in the yonex handle. Thanks a lotThat was likely me:

I also did it with a Pacific butt cap:

In both cases I used a 4 1/2" butt cap on a 4 3/8" handle to give it that 'extra' flare. I preferred the Pacific, so I've stuck with it.
I've tried all of the other suggestions here, and while they get the job done, they all end up adding tail weight (the Power Cap adds ~ 6-7g, depending on how you trim it). Swapping the butt cap, there is barely any difference.

Why not cut a TW full size shrink tube into sections and shrink a larger flare using 1 or 2 or 3 shrink tube pieces. I don't know what the final tail weight might be but if one leaves only an 1" or so of shrink wrap butt flare, how much could it weigh? Some thin super glue to fix the layers maybe.
They should. I swapped all my EZone DR to the Wilson non Pro Staff caps back in the dayAnyone know if the Wilson Non-Pro Staff Red Cap or Wilson Triad Red Cap will fit the Yonex pallet? The Pro Staff butt cap just don’t seem to be available in L3 or L4. Ideally I’d like a black cap, any other alternatives?
Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll give it a shot.They should. I swapped all my EZone DR to the Wilson non Pro Staff caps back in the day
. At the time the Yonex trap door also fit in the Wilson cap. Not sure about the ones nowThanks for the feedback, I’ll give it a shot.
