Prince EXO3 Tour butt cap

[JesterMania]

Very simple question, but how do I take this off? I have a Head YT Radical MP and it's easy to slide a screwdriver under the butt cap but for Prince, it seems the cap is fastened pretty tightly and I can't seem to pry it open with a screwdriver.

You can't take it off like you would a HEAD buttcap, as newer Prince racquet don't have trap doors. Instead, take off the grip and remove the staples.

If you're looking to add lead, I find that Prince could be a little bit more customize-aholic friendly with their design, so you have my sympathies!

Thanks OneHander, that's what I wanted to know. That's pretty bad I would have to:

1. Unwrap overgrip
2. Unwrap grip
3. Pull out staples
4. Perform desired customization
5. Put on staples
6. Wrap grip
7. Wrap overgrip

And if I was unhappy with my setup and wanted to try again, I would have to.........this sucks!

I just wait to try customizations until my OG needs a change. Then I just unwrap the replacement grip, put the lead on the handle, rewrap, and I'm all set. It only takes a few minutes to try and is a lot easier! Alternatively, I also like to wrap lead around the finishing tape of the replacement grip because I only use small amounts and it's very easy to undo.
