Storage
Keep your paddle in a dry, temperature-controlled place, ideally indoors. Avoid leaving it in a vehicle, since extreme heat and cold will damage it over time.

Paddle face and edge guard cleaning
Wipe down your paddle after every session. Clean the edge guard with a damp cloth. For the paddle face, use a paddle eraser for quick spot cleaning, or a slightly damp cloth for a more thorough wipe.

The graphics on your paddle will fade a little over time. Don’t worry, that just means you’re out there putting in the work.

Grip care
Wipe your grip after every session. Sweat, grit, and oils from your hands build up, and regular cleaning helps the grip last longer. You can also add an overgrip of your choice. There are many options, and an overgrip protects the original factory grip.

F.A.Q

Most of our paddles are USA Pickleball approved for sanctioned play. The approval status is listed in the product description above. Playing in a tournament? Double-check the official USA Pickleball approved equipment list, or email us at support@pickleplayglobal.com and we'll confirm for you.

Thicker paddles (16mm) feel softer and give you more control, great for dinks, resets and the soft game. Thinner paddles (13-14mm) are faster with more pop, great for drives and hand battles. Not sure? Most players start with 16mm.
