FAQ
What's the purpose of lead tapes on a pickleball paddle?
Adding lead tapes to your paddle will allow you to customize the weight and balance for your preferred playstyle.
Lead tapes can be strategically placed in different zones on the paddle to achieve specific benefits like power, larger sweet spot, spin or greater control and stability.
Where to put lead tape on a pickleball paddle?
Lead tapes can be stuck on the top, middle or bottom of the paddle to give you varying results like:
More Power: Players can increase the power of their shots by adding the lead tape to the top of the paddle (12, 2 and 10 o'clock positions)
Larger Sweet Spot: Sticking lead tapes on the sides of the paddle or in the middle (3 and 9 o'clock) can enlarge the sweet spot, giving players more stability and margin for error when striking the ball.
Increased Stability: Adding lead tapes to the lower part (or throat) of the paddle (4 and 8 o'clock) will allow for greater control & stability since it shifts the weight distribution further down the paddle.
What are the advantages of adding lead tapes to a paddle?
The biggest advantage is ease of customization. Lead tapes for pickleball paddles are a convenient way to increase your strength and accuracy without too much guess work.
By experimenting with different placements, players can fine-tune their paddles for ideal weight and balance. Our lead strips are bendable and easy to apply, and come pre-weighted to 3 grams per strip. You can adjust the tape to help you find your balance and optimize your performance.
Start by sticking 1-2 pieces in different positions of your paddle. Remove and reposition as needed till you reach your desired ratio of power, balance & control.
Another advantage is not having to buy multiple paddles with different weights.
Can your lead tapes be removed and repositioned?
Absolutely! Our tapes come with quality 3M stickers on the back that can be removed and repositioned.
Best part is that you get 10 pcs in a pack so you don't have to worry about running out of tapes for your pickleball paddle.
