Q: Will Head pallets fit any hairpins?

[klementine]

I know most people want that Wilson/Prince grip... but after playing so many years with the Head grip-shape, I find that I prefer their grip shape.

Can I remove the foam grip from a Prince or Wilson racquet, exposing the bare handle, and apply a Head pallet grip?

If anyone knows the answer or has tried this before, please let me know.

EDIT: I realize 'hairpin' means the bare racquet.. i.e. no grommets, grip, etc.. I am referring to the bare handle.

yes it should work, i have done with a Wilson PS Classic,
you may have to trim the hairpin handle a little to get a true fit. the old Wilson PS ROK even had removable pallets. so i would assume if you can shave down the foam grip then fitting Head pallets should not be a problem.

Not all of them, definitely.
Some hairpins are wider, some narrower down at the handle...
