I just got a new racket and I unwrapped the grip to remove the staple that secures it to the buttcap so I could cut the grip down a bit at the bottom so that it didn't overlap so much around the buttcap. There was pretty much no tack left on the grip when I rewrapped it and when I hit with the racket afterward, it totally felt different, in a bad way. Has anybody else ever experienced this or know why this would happen, or am I just crazy? Does it need to be stapled to the buttcap?
