Saw off the knob.
But be careful, it will affect the balance.

ok, I have relaxed the knob from the filter, please use the new power wisely!! you can't use knob without the k.

If you cut the handle the balance of the bat will be gone!

If the bat has a high middle and I'm using two or 3 grips, how much will the balance change?

What did you use, did you just saw some off or did you sand it down?
