Shoe Goo Grommet Strips

I have found a solution for old racquets with worn-out, unobtainable head guards. My first step is to try and get the member to purchase a new racquet that will allow them to take advantage of the more modern technology. If that fails, I rebuild the head guard (not the grommets) using Shoe Goo. Before I apply this product to the head of the racquet I tell the member that it is semi-permanent. I have never tried to remove it but I don’t want to take a chance of destroying the frame. I apply the Shoe Goo along the frame taking care to keep it out of the stringing well. I also keep the old head guard in place. This “replacement” head guard extends the life of my customers’ “old favorites.”
