Hi guys, i am always a fan of Head racquets, specifically the Radical MP racquets, but i never like the pallets' shape. I'd prefer the Wilson grip shapes or better the Dunlop grip shapes. I used many layers of thick tape to pad on the pallets to make it more square, but i was never happy with it. I was thinking about changing the Head Speed's pallets, which is the perfect way to get the grip shape i wanted, but this way will cost too much and require extra tools like heat gun and glue. I went to Harbor freight to buy heat gun and glue tube plus maybe an owl, small & thin knife, screw drivers...and i was lucky to find a simpler solution in Harbor Freight: Double Sided tape, heavy duty, and 1/16" thickness. This is the double sided foam mounting tape that uses to mount pictures, frames on the wall. I was so happy and bought one right away to try. It works really great when applying the tape on both sides of the pallets without adding much of weight. Now my Head Utek Radical has the grip shape like Dunlop grip shape. So this message is for people who like to play with the Head racquets but didn't like the grip shapes. Give this a try and you'll like it without spending much money and efforts. Peace.
Who didn't like the Head pallets' shapes and want to change?

Interesting...
I have probably changed about 300 pallets so far and I do not own a heat gun, glue, special tools... I use a hair drier, and an old kitchen knife. Usually, the leftover glue/double sided tape will be enough for the new set of pallets. I did get the industrial strength thin double sided tape for $10 on E Bay just in case and for re-applying the Head Calfskin grip.
