Discontinued grommet strips

Q: Does anyone publish a list of discontinued or hard-to-find grommet strips, and who sells them? Does the USRSA have a grommet-strip database that shows when grommet strips are going out of stock at various suppliers, so we can buy them before it’s too late? Do you have a database that tells which grommet strips fit other racquets besides the ones for which they are designed?

A: Although we receive a lot of calls about grommet strips, keeping track of them in the manner you suggest would be ruinously expensive, and of value to a relatively small number of stringers. Your best bet is going to be to contact suppliers who sell grommet strips, as they might know from experience which grommet strips interchange with others.
