Grip not flush with the butt cap for Wilson causes blisters

[Fintft]

If you end up with the butt cap in your palm and two fingers off the handle...

It also happened to my 26y old partner after a few minutes of practice - first hit after a 2 months lockdown.

Using just the overgrip to cover the plastic margin of the butt cap is not enough, but it was much better after I've replaced my old grips and wrapped them flush with the butt cap.

Head buttcaps don’t give me this problem, Wilson does. I wrap two overgrips, with the base one going around the edges a few times to smooth them out, and the second once or twice around the edges.

I could see this being a problem with the old school pro staff style buttcaps, but the newer ones are rounded.
