Wilson Blade V7 Grommet Kit

No, this specific kit is engineered exclusively for the Blade 98 v7 16x19. Grommet sets are highly specific to the frame geometry and string pattern, so they are not interchangeable with other Blade versions or head sizes.

You should replace your grommets if the bumper strip is worn down to the frame or if the individual grommet tubes are cracked, flattened, or missing. Damaged grommets can cause your strings to fray prematurely or lose tension due to friction against the frame.

While it is possible to install them yourself, it can be a tedious process that requires patience and a few specific tools like an awl or pliers. If you are not comfortable handling the delicate plastic tubes, most local tennis pro shops can install them for a small fee.

Yes, this is a complete replacement set. It includes both the top bumper guard that protects the head of the racquet and the individual grommet strips that line the sides of the frame.

Replacing old, worn-out grommets with a fresh set will add a negligible amount of weight, usually just a gram or two. While technically a change, it is rarely enough to be noticeable in your swing weight or balance.
