Can anyone confirm if Grommet-Gate has been resolved? I only need grommets for 18x20 Ultra Tours so if that part is resolved it is sufficient for me...
Anyone?

Sorry folks it’s me with those precious grommets
If there is will there is a way. Just got some grommets from Wilson. I had to order them from Australia but it was worth it. I used Australian fright forwarder and it was legit. So i think there is solution if you really need new grommets. Shipping to Europe was pretty cheap.

Used the pro tour 2.0 very briefly. It’s a sweet frame but more demanding than the ultra. Smaller sweet spot. Heavier, but doesn’t need as much or any lead like the ultra either. I also have the prestige pro (touch and Xt versions) and yea they give you more juice but the feel of the ultra is too too good.
Two of my rackets were identical on weight (306g) But they varied on balance almost 4mm. So to get SW, balance and static weight to be equal it was quite a effort.. manageable but if you prefer also low static weight that's going to be hard. If you like for example low static weight, even balanced racket, ask them to pick sub 305g pair. Mine were 306 and those are strung (4G) and with overgrip 330g. Not much room for adjusting with lead..
I haven't tried TW matching service. If it's just finding identical rackets from their stock that would be best (weight, balance and SW) that allows you to make your own modifications.

You're gonna add lead anyways just aim for similar frames. If you happen to get slightly heavier ones it is not a big deal. You add less lead. I have mine at 362g static so far and feel I could go heavier. Stock weight is super light and not optimal for most people.

they will find identical racquets but do you think I should ask for lowest static weight first priority?
I want static weight to be just under 340g and still be able to put lead from 10 to 2. My go to SW is 338. Comparing to my frames I would have picked little bit more head light frames and couple grams lighter. Then I could have used lead more to head and shape power and feel more freely. Sorry if explained confusingly.
I think it depends your opinion what specs you want. If you want heavier racket the frame weight doesn't mean that much.
Here is what i did.
I wanted lead to same areas but the other had to be cut narrower

Now that I have two v4s on the way, I was hoping TW would start carrying them since they do the frames. A man can hope I guess.
Yes! Nice catch! I really like this setup.
Actually didn't know that they were available. At least for me wilson.com has show "out of stock" from june. And yeah hope they have their stock in order by now...

My v4 UP 18x20s just arrived. What a glamorous paint job, maybe the best I've ever seen in person. And I hate to even bring up grommets, and I looked through this entire thread for the answer, but is there a chance UT grommets fit the v3/v4 UPs?

Yes they do

What level do you play at? How fast is your swing? I thought 4G was acceptable only for about 3-4 weeks. I played that string until there were super thin ribbon crosses at which point that area of thin strings really made the string bed very inconsistent.
I would go with a 1.20mm poly (I like Max power 18) or 16 or 17g syn gut (nylon is seriously underrated and it is comparatively inexpensive). Syn gut 47-51 lbs and full bed poly at 39-43 lbs works for me.
i liked 4g in the racquet at125. the control was good. so far my preferred string is head hawk touch in 17g / 125. haven't tried alu but i would just recommend going 125 or thinner

I don't hear a lot of Gut/Poly being used on this thread and am quite surprised. Plus all of the un-godly swing weights can be lessened by getting your juice from the Gut main and when the poly goes dead just cut it out and restring leaving the Gut. Just remember to start stinging on the unnotched other side and bump up the tension 2 or 3 pounds. Been doing this in my UT forever. The beauty of this stick is the foam in the head that gives it such a respectable twist weight. The thought of putting my shoulder through a 335-340 swing weight with my 1hb would be nuts. 5 grams of Silicone in the handle + 5g more of Tungsten in cotton (Both so Tungsten is all the way at end to tip it right) a bit of lead at tip for a 324 swing weight putting me all in at 335 static weight and 10pts head light. I trade blows with college kids all the time with no stability issues. Also if you look into the very affordable Briffidi swing weight machine (275 bucks) it will save you a fortune in the long run.
i never considered using gut before until i used this racquet because i have always broken strings insanely fast, even when using 15 gauge ALU Power. for some reason, even a head i prestige mid won't keep strings nearly as long as this racquet will.

Dense patterns make strings last longer...
I have gut/poly on one of my frames. I will say that 50 lbs at 40F ambient temps is too tight!

I String my Gut at 43 pounds and the Poly at 40. My ERT measures it at 48 right off the stringer. One day out and it levels and stays solid at 45. At that point it plays perfect. I get solid action off the string bed with a really heavy ball.
