Should I buy spare set of grommets?

[pcft369]

Hi, I have a Prince TT 100P that I really like, and plan on keeping for a long time.

How many of you buy extra grommets when you get a new racket? Do they break often or are they discontinued after a few years? How many extra sets should I buy?

Buy at least two (at least one per frame). Grommets get discontinued quickly.

Absolutely you should.
Nothing more painful than throwing out a perfectly good frame due to worn out grommets.

It is better to have them and not need them, than to need them and not have them. Depending on how badly you wear out grommets you could get more than 1 per frame.

No don’t bother. You are on TT you will be switching racket soon!

 

[struggle]

Yes, buy several. You can always sell them later (possibly for a profit) when they are discontinued

What I do is just buy 1 set as a backup. If I have a broken grommet, I don’t replace the entire set, just the segment that has the broken grommet. I keep the replaced segment so I can cut out individual grommets for replacements later like Fittex Grommets. This way one replacement set can last a long time.
