    Does anyone know where I can purchase relatively cheap tools to replace the grommets? Ive reaad you need a grommet grinder and a remover to do the job and MBS doesn't seem to sell either. Where do you guys recommend?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    I don't have much knowledge on this, why do you need special tools? Can't you simply push the grommets out through the holes?

    I've never tried that before, is it safe to do?

    just push it out. you don't need any fancy tools unless you are doing this for a living...

    Thanks! I was worried I would damage the racket if I tried something like that. Better safe than sorry right? haha

    well, don't use a sledgehammer. just do it slowly and carefully. i usually use a good cutter and that has enough leverage to pull it out without damaging the frame.
