So I bought an old ti-10 but it came with a g4 sized grip instead of g5. It's not that much of a difference but it's noticeable and I'm much more comfortable using the smaller grip. Is there any way to make the grip smaller?
I call that cheating! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sumbadder, Where did you get it from and is there a possibility that you could exchange it to a G5?
you can always try sandpapering the wooden grip down a few mm to make it thinner. i'm not sure i would recommend that though, unless you know exactly what you're doing. if you're in malaysia, i would suggest going to your local badminton stringer and asking them to do it for you, a lot of them are able to make such modifications.
This is quite popular with the pro players. They get off the original grip and add a layer of either towel grip or overgrap.
With sandpaper it will take to long. Three weeks ago i try sandpaper, then i take a carpet knife and sliced circa 1mm from each of the 8 surfaces, it's quite easy. So from G3 i have by now G5 i think. Till now it's all ok but i'm a bit wary (i did this on a 3 years old mp 22 witch i use regularly).
I'm a bit sure of the getting the wood down by sanding because the wood is a certain thickness which is fixed on all grip sizes for a reason. Sanding it down too thin could compromise the handle.
