thanks for posting this video, I found it to be pretty good basic info. maybe you could follow up with other racquets. for example, can you put a dunlop handle onto a wilson?
well obviously you guys dont no anything about math and never tried it so how can u comment me if i did it and its smooth and i play with it all the time. well what u do is measure the size of the handle that u want. and its not done by manually sanding it in ur heads. its done by a hand geld machine the goes around ur hand that if u have or get one. and it only takes 5 minutes at least to do it sounds complicated to ur dumb ass that can't do it!
I was going to change my pallets to 28 inches. But, this process is disturbing to me. It violates the sanctity of the bond between a tennis racquet and the pallet.
Lol.. It took me 10 mins to get exactly what i wanted in a grip change. It'll probably take you at least haft hour to do it your way. Even so, with your newb comment, i am assured that you will get uneven bevels along with cracked pallets as they are made of tender materials. Post some comments when educated about pallets, otherwise don't post at all..
ughhhhhh. I want to change my grip size to one lower. Each time I hit my two-handed backhand, that head oval grip makes my wrist hurt like hell. But I really don't want to go through all this procedure. Know if random tennis shops do this?
When you remove the replacement grips, the tape is suppose to come off with it as well. So peel the tape along with the grip when you remove it.
When you reapply the grip(if you do), then there is tape to hold the grip back in place. But IMO, the tape is not that important, just remove it and discard it.
I was just cringing when you were shoving that knife down RIGHT by your hand..... Just waiting for the slip, the stab, and your scream...and what? New Chinese swear words to learn?
lol. Good job. Post if you ever source the grip pallets. I called HEAD - no go.
That's exactly the point. They don't want you to buy pallets and stick with your frame. Rather, they want you to go out and buy new rackets for that grip size you want.
Not all the head rackets have them. Only the prestige series and the radicals and other older classic frames.
Unfortunately Head doesn't make pallets for distribution anymore. You will have to post a wanted Ad on tenniswarehouse or other tennis sites for used ones.

Ive changed so many Pallets and made custom grips from moulds its untrue. There are SAFER and easier ways of removing a pallet.
Heat teh pallet up with a Paint Stripper, (hair dryers dont produce enough heat)
When the pallet is very warm, IE. you dont want to hold it use a screw driver inserted between the 2 pallet halves and twist allong the join.
Keep the pallets hot. Soem come off in seconds, some a little longer and absolutly NO KNIVES to cut an artery.

yeah exactly, you will definitely get uneven bevels...what a moron. If you do sand you must do by hand which takes a hell of a long time to do

When you take the replacement grip off and some of the sticky tape comes off with it, are there gonna be problems when you put it back?

Lol. you just gotta have good control with the Knife. I've done around 30 pallets so far and none sustained injuries. Just be a bit careful.
Trust me, if i swear it's going to be all "Du Ma". Lol
You can try calling this place that sold used pallets before. Just ask for your gripsize.

can you do this with dunlop aerogel 200's? I have two, one is 4 3/8 (18x20 string)and one is 4 1/2 (16x19); I want to switch them.
turdferguson2 3 years ago
No, you can't do them with dunlops as they don't have the pallet system- rather they have a molded handled.

then what is the point of having rackets with removable pallets if you dont provide replacements?
All models of head rackets have removable pallets?

Great video. Unfortunately Wilson racquet pallets are not that easy to remove. Well done on this instructional video. I'll save it as a favourite.
veeonerotate 3 years ago
Sorry. Wilson rackets are permanent and non-removable. They are molded on and doesn't consist of a pallet system like that of Head and Volkl Rackets.
