Volkl racket grommet inquiry experts

[teachingprotx]

hello volkl experts and afficianodos

I want to try a fun experiment but don't know if it's possible .
I have an older volkl tour 10 mid 93 sq inch . With a 16x 19 pattern .
What I was am attempting to do is file out the side grommet holes enough to fit in some volkl " big" or "super " grommets . I know it's weird but would love to try .
Anyone have a clue what grommets to purchase that may fit , I understand I may have to retro for them but don't mind doing it . Just wanted to know if anyone has any thoughts on it as far as which grommets with " big grommets " that would even kind of fit a 93sq inch 16x19 volkl tour 10 frame .
Thanks !

Can't answer your question about the Super Large [side] grommets. However, I have drilled out holes in frames to enlarge them. It really will depend on the type of drill bits you have 1/8" is 3.06 mm [3/16" is 4.5 mm], but I have been able to get FITEX 3.1 mm tubes thru. Ideally, you may need 3.5mm, 4 mm and 4.5 mm bits. All I do is remove the grommet strips and carefully drill from the inside and the outside. Do not drill thru both holes. Maybe you should just enlarge the side grommet holes and replace with larger FITEX replacements in the 3.8 - 4.5 mm range.

edit: If you go this route, also get the grommet grinder unless you are good with drilling out the old grommets or using a cutter to remove parts of grommet strips.
