I have problems getting my grips flush because I have alot of reverse pitch. I used to just try and force it and it never worked right. After watching this video, I couldn't wait to try doing it this way. It worked great and I'll never do it any other way again. I love how it turned out.

omg, can't wait to try this. I've done similar steps but not quite the same and never had the results you're showing. I hate how my inserts either stick out of the ball or I'm left with jagged and sharp edges. This might be just what I needed. Thanks

This is amazing. I am blown away by how good the finished product looks. I have always hated cutting grips and just dealt with distorting them by forcing them in and gluing. Of course I just recently changed to not using grips at all, so I can’t even try this anymore, but I still appreciate that such a technique exists.

Really great info here. I may start drilling my own balls soon on the drill press, so this is very helpful.

Great tip. I just butchered my inserts today so hopefully I can smooth them out with some acetone.

My pro shop left the grips sticking out so high, it was really annoying me. This is perfect, got them flush. Thank you!

Great tip! Love these type of tips content

Excellent video thank you for sharing your techniques.

I use nail polish remover and a qtip after trimming and it worked amazingly

Very cool! I will practice this on my old ball

I need to try this on my ball. very cool.

Awesome !! Thank you for this.. can't wait to try it

Good stuff. I just had inserts put in. They're a little too deep. The inside edge of the drilled portion of the ball has an edge on it. How do I put a bevel on the fingertip holes without removing the inserts?

I love this. It’s been a problem for me for a while no and I think this solved it!

Fantastic attention to detail. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. The biggest issue that I have in regards to inserts is; I use vise semi-power-lift inserts. Trimming them removes part of the "lift" portion of the grip. It seems as though the options are: let then stick out a bit and hope that no one notices, or, insert them deep enough so that they don't stick out, or, stop using power-lift inserts. What would you recommend?

Thank you!!!!

good tip.

I wac using the same cutting method but without the ball cleaner and acetone. Genius ! Thanks ! Can the acetone alone be enough for the inside part of the grips in case we don't have a surgical type blade ?

Nice technique, but I have a question for you. Are you using the xacto knife on the inside edge of the grip where your finger goes, or on the outside edge of the grip where it touches the ball? It's hard to tell from the camera angle. Thanks.

Can you do this process with lift grips/pillows?

Do you have a technique for the clear vise grips? They seem to be really tough to cut smooth.

Can you tell me what kind or size of razor blade that is? I'm having a hard time find something like that. Thank you.

What kind of glue should I use to install inserts

What exact blade part#/ name? Thanks.

What pitches do you use?

Why would you cut the grip just put upper side in first then glue that side then pull up the other side and glue its easier
