Head grip pallet on a Yonex frame?

[krisdrum]

I grew up playing the "rectangle" classic Head grip shape. Those racquets are long gone. I've been playing with Dunlop, Prince, and now Yonex since getting back into the sport.

I feel like I am still struggling a bit with getting my grip changes solid and consistent. Starting to think the grip dimensions might be part of the issue.

Does Yonex use a pallet system like Head? If so, would I be able to pretty easily install a Head pallet on a Yonex frame? Yonex frame in question is a Vcore Tour F 97. I like the frame a lot. Just wondering if I can improve it for me with a "custom" grip shape.

Usually no. Take the grip off and if the handle is yellow then its a hard molded foam handle, not plastic pallets.

I have removed the foam handle on a Yonex (the RQIS 1 tour) and the graphite "hairpin" shaft underneath was a weird shape. Head pallets have small dimensions on the inside and fit well on almost no other racquets (think they well about 18x25mm?). If you are in the US there are companies who can mold a new handle on your racquet for you, cost $$, not sure how good the results are. A poster here on TT (Geoff) also does it.....
