Pickleball Paddle Lead Tape

Yes, I'm a paddle nerd! There is definitely a benefit from adding weight at strategic locations on paddles to extend and enhance sweet spots and add stability. So, this is my go-to for that. It sticks really well and given the narrow size, it can work on a paddle as thin as 10mm (which is what I used it on - Labs 007). I think it is a fair price and since you will have plenty you can use it for several paddles.

The media could not be loaded. I like how easy it was to apply. I covered my paddle edges with gaffer’s tape but this tape comes with a sticky backing to help it hold. It was easy to use, I could rip the tape with my bare hands and didn’t need scissors. I like to change the weight of my paddles often so this product makes it very easy. Five stars!

Works much better than the metal weights on my Diadem Edge paddle, which has a grooved frame. Metal weights tend to fall off after awhile. The tape stays on.

Coulld be more simplerWeigh your paddleadd weigth to meet your maximum or even better less and tryoutMiddle of you paddle - pencil/postit mark - then slide off table and where it starts to fall mark that as well - the distance between tells you how head heavy it is - or light towards the handle.If you have tennis elbow or have had before do not add weight to the head end on top of the paddle because while it will add some power to your serve and extend sweet spot towards the top you will kill your elbow- you have been officially sasquatch warned.You can increase your sweetspot in the middle by adding weight near the handle and on the sides of paddle - very good starting point. Nobody can tell how it will work for you - just like the wine sasquatch like isnt the same wine you will like becuas eof different style of play/tastes. Try 1 gram, then stack 2 grams and cover with your favorite edge tape or favorite color of electrical tape to match or offset your paddle color and your now a professional - well not yet because there are more improtant things like strokes, strategies and softgame.Adding weight can improve sweet spot and power - be careful with lead and wash hands and dont add everything on the end unless you 18 and invincible

I used this tape on a Selkirk Amped Epic Lightweight paddle to increase theweight to the midweight range. The light weight of the paddle was causing elbow pain when I played and this helped.My Epic originally weighed 7.625 oz and with the lead tape it now weighs 8.125 oz. I didn’t use all of it.For the Epic the tape is thin but the Epic has a thick core. I was able to run two pieces side by side and still have room for one more. For normal thickness paddles this tape will be the perfect size.Stays put and adds weight. Would buy again.

Lead tape is a bit of a pain and doesn’t always lie flat. The precut and pre weighed out lead strips are way better over this.

because it allows you to have better spread in weight, i added previously 3 gram strips but was too much for my elbow. 2 grams on my pickleball paddle instead of 6 oz is way better for me.

This product sticks very well. I wrapped it almost all the way around my paddle (skipping only the brand name on both sides. This increased weight by .2 ounces (perfect for me). It might have been .3 if wrapped across the brand name. Also, tape is narrow enough to do two strips side-by-side. Since tape is shiny, I noticed other players cover the shiny tape with black electrical tape. Obviously, this increases weight a little bit more.
