    Sorry not sure how to edit post.
    I want to know if anyone knows where to purchase these grommets? Are there custom grommets out there that can be purchased?
    Where can the clear flat strip be used? Thx

    I use alpha grommets, they have a variety, but I use B1 and B5. To me they are very good. Google Alpha tennis grommets, they also have the grommet grinder, takes out them grommets fast!

    Black Knight grommets are horribly fragile. Several split open at 28lbs after one session. Cut string out, rotated grommets, restrung at 25lbs. . .and they're ALREADY starting to give way. Poor, poor grommet quality on a racket advertised to have a maximum tension of 35lbs.

    Yeah. Its a pain with lousy grommets. Some manufacturing faults I encountered are yonex nanoray and recent astrox 88s. Its soft cutting my string twice, loose and drops.

    Bad luck.
