Grommets are the plastic tubes extending out from the inside of the frame that the string passes through. They are there to form a protective barrier from the sharp edge of the frame. Eventually, you will find that some of the grommets wear out and break off. This is a problem because the string will be able to rub against the frame leading to string breakage.
If some of your grommets have broken off, there are ways that we can still string your racket with some confidence in the strings holding up. Assuming that only a few grommets have broken, we can use a Teflon tubing in the holes to act as a buffer to the frame. This usually holds up well and is a good option to keep playing with your racket.
Stop in and we'll take a look at your racket and let you know what can be done to keep it playing like new.
