Grip-wrapping for lefties

Normally when installing a replacement grip, you use the existing tapered end to start out, but when the racquet is for a left-handed player, this leaves a sharper angled beveled seam in the finished wrap. It is much easier to take the untrimmed end of the replacement grip and trim a taper to match the reverse wrap for the lefty. The finished wrap will then have a more normal angled seam. The only thing that remains is to take a black permanent marker to touch up any white lining that may show up on the finished grip.
