Replacing bumper and grommet strips

Some strips have flared grommets that make it very difficult to remove the strip easily from the frame. A short cut is to use a grommet grinder from the inside of the frame to “break” the grommets from the strip. You could do it from the outside of the frame, but you risk damaging the hole. Going from inside the grommet still breaks from the strip on the outside of the racquet and the flare on the inside ensures no damage.
