Lead Tape

Pickleball is a game of inches…and ounces. Although pickleball paddles only weigh around 8 ounces, the balance of the paddle’s weight has a large impact on feel of the paddle. If your favorite pickleball paddle feels too light overall or the balance does not fit you, it is easy to alter this balance by placing ounces of additional weight around the edge of the pickleball paddle.

In addition to effects on total weight and swing weight (balance), where that weight is placed on the pickleball paddle affects what benefits or differences you feel. Adding lead tape is also a fun way to customize your pickleball paddle, because your paddle should be the perfect fit for your game.
