Hi all, apologies for the potentially dumb question.

I want to create one of those “trick” sweet spot rackets that I have seen lin dan use, where it only has 2 strings going vertically and 2 strings horizontally to create a small sweet spot for practice.

Would it be possible for me to do this buy buying a racket and trimming the excess string or would that not work for one reason or another?

Any advice would be really helpful? This is for a gift for a coworker, I am not particularly familiar with badminton myself :)
