I'm experimenting removing weight from bumper guard to tune the racquet swing weight. Older posts seem to recommend cutting bumper guard to the same shape as grommet stripes on other sides of the racquet. That may remove too much weight and completely lose racquet protection.
Has anyone tried sanding down the bumper guard to make it much thinner instead of cutting it up? If yes, how did you do it? using sand paper, metal file, or Dremel? Is it easier to remove weight more evenly from inside (in contact with hoop) or the outside (scratching court surface)?
