Trying to replace bumper guard

[DTLwinners]

I’m trying to replace the bumper guard of a VCore 100 (2023).

On tennis warehouse the item is listed as grommet. Is this grommet only or grommet plus bumper guard? Don’t see any other available product on TW.

Why not just call the toll free number or tag @TW Staff ?

The grommets always include the bumper guard too. Make your purchase!

Thanks. I guess in the days of internet I forget that calling over the phone is still an option. Appreciate it .

Well, no offense to TW, but all companies are actively trying to discourage you from calling them and have been since the start of the pandemic.

Wouldn't be so bad if their websites weren't so poorly designed and filled with tripe from the manufacturers
(product description - "Now made with new Fantastalon, bigger, faster, longer lasting that our last model made with Unobtanium")
instead of actual product info/specs/pictures
(Not singling out TW, which imho is in the top 5%, - but for example, car parts on the internet is a nightmare)

Also, btw, go ask Wes for a copy of his video on how to replace gromet strips and bumper guards. It's really good.

Be sure to buy 2 or 3, they go out of stock fast and then get really hard to find. Planned obsolescence, not just Yonex....

You really need at least 2 grommet sets per frame. If you sell the frame in the future, put the unused sets up for sale on the For Sale Forum. They can actually increase in value.

Yonex grommet sets are easy to put on. Babolat are terrible.

I called them and they confirmed that grommet sets come w bumper guard, as said by @dak95_00

Also, with rare exception, replace the entire set……not just the bumper section.

They are fairly thin and over time the walls will wear through to the graphite which will cut the strings.

As mentioned above, buy a few sets per frame.
