That strip are the grommets. So called tungsten infused, that's where they put the head mass, I suppose. Gonna be a pain to replace when worn out though.
Oh i see it. It's like one of those weight strips but in this case, its the grommet. Smart. You're probably right, its gonna be hard to put in
They said the new grommets all already available in stores in japan b4 the racquects out...question is y not the whole racquect uses the same grommet system?
I almost get the feeling the new grommets are just a further cash cow scheme for Yonex. I hope they're cheap to replace.
The grommets cost 525 yen which even though it is not expensive, is still an additional expense as I believe that stringer will not keep stock of it.
So including VAT, postage etc, we're probably looking at around £5-6 extra for something that should cost pennies.
The new grommets look tough...some kind of metal...not plastic...btw...i have not change a single grommmet of my VTZF...but my racquect finally broke after exactly 2 mths plus...it wouldnt have broken easily if i wouldnt have been swingung the racket at home n hit a swinging fan
So its a kind of metal? Should be more lasting compare to current plastic grommet....wonder if this new tungsten grommet useable for other racquects
Aw man, that grommet design is really disappointing. I thought they had designed something specifically to completely smooth out the head so that the strings 'disappear' into the frame.
They do don't they? I was under the impression that from the front, once strung, you cannot see the strings.
