Possible non strip grommet replacement for ZF2

Discovered a bad grommet on a clients ZF2.

If the bad grommet were not at the end of the strip, you would need to replace the entire strip. And unfortunately (for you), Yonex only sells them as an ENTIRE set for the ZF2 (as well as several other models)!!!

Luckily in this case, I could just remove the bad grommet on the last position of the strip; replace with a normal grommet. In the pix, the offending strip is nearest to my finger on the frame of the racquet.

Please take note of the string alignment towards the top of the picture - you can then avoid string overlapping the cutoff strip, if the vertical tie-off is on the other side of the frame.
