I’ve seen many videos and tried using a hair dryer and heat gun. It’s very difficult and frustrating to use those methods. It takes a bit of patience....
The EASY METHOD is to boil water and then pour the water into a water thermos or jug. I use the same half gallon one I take to the courts. After removing the grip, butt cap, and the tape that’s over the pallet, submerge the racquet with the pallet into the hot water. Let sit for two minutes and begin to peel back the pallet. Be careful not to rip it. It’ll be stuck to the two sided tape so you might also use a flat head screwdriver to slide along and help with the removal. If it gets stuck, just resubmerge in the water and try again after 30 seconds. This is by far the easiest method.
So you’ve got it off and it’s changed it’s shape. Just dip the pallet into the hot water for 10 seconds and then reshape it on the racquet. It’ll quickly find its shape again and still come off. I hold one side of the pallet and then flip and hold the other.
Good luck. I’m done for a small period of time but if I do it again, I might just make a video. I hope this helps you.
