Technifibre TFight 315 LTD - cap grommets?

You knew it was just a matter of time until someone asked about capping a TFight 315 LTD 18m. That person is not me though. I bought two sets of spare grommets for my 18-main 315. I was sent cap grommets.

I'm not sure if these are mislabeled or if they will fit the 315 LTD 18m. I'm not totally familiar with the older 315 models but I don't think they had a capped 18m. I'm not sure what's up with these. I bought them as spares and don't feel like pulling off the current grommets to see if they fit.

Cap grommets?? To me they look Cap-like, but not quite the same as the Head version that I think most people would compare them to. They kind of look like regular grommets, but in a strip with some extra frame protection. Head Cap grommets have a bit more to them than these.

Where did you order the grommets from?

They came from Mid-west Sports. I normally buy everything from TW but got these with a discontinued racquet that TW does not stock.

Yes, that is a good point. They are kind of a hybrid between a CAP grommet and regular. They don't have the flap that covers the string. It is similar to the large strip on the top of most racquets except it extends all the way down to the throat.

TF315 vs. TF315 LTD?

Sunday
I suspect these grommets are for the older generation Tecnifibre Tfight 315, not for the new Tfight 315 LTD. Not 100% sure though.

I used to play with the older generation of TF315 which came out around the same time as the extended length (27.5") TF325 (circa 2005)...both are (long) gone.

You are probably right. They are not at all like those on the new 18m. I don't plan on trying these any time soon. At least until I am able to locate the correct grommets in case these don't fit.

OMFG WTF?!!!!!!!!!!

I FIND THIS OUT AFTER I SELL MY 315?!!!!

OP Let us know if it fits :O Looks like I might pick up the 315 again.....

So you're saying that you bought a racquet without cap grommets, and then sold it because it didn't have cap grommets? :confused:

I just bought a used T-Fight 315 ltd 18x20 and now I am looking for these CAP type grommet set.

I searched over the Internet and I discovered only a few shops in USA that sell those grommets However this is too expensive to me due to shipping and douane charges to Europe (the Netherlands).

Might anyone help me to obtain those grommets?

Those don't look like CAP grommets to me. Looks more like the side strips and the bumper guard are one piece for each side.

I was thinking about cutting up an extra set of Prestige Cap grommets I have and MAKING it fit on my Tec 315 18 Main. If it rains and I get bored enough, I just might have to give it a shot.

I think the TK238 grommets have the best chance of fitting (it will need a little work IMO) but I held up a TI Radical with TK238 capped grommets, and it is near perfect match. My only problem now is remembering what TK238 grommets are, and if TW has them in stock. Any help in this will be welcome!!!

Also, I think the Graphene Prestige grommets would look pretty sweet in it!!!
