- Place the 2x 8-Sections of Dong-a Anyball grips on the other side of each Pentel Energel Kuro barrel. You want to have a flat section facing inwards vs the smooth thinner end on the inside. Slide it up against the Pilot G2 Grip.
- Place the 2x 4-Sections of Dong-a Anyball grips on the ring side of the Pilot G2 grip on each side.
