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.
