How to Choose Your Paddle
- Match the face material — Carbon fiber (T700) grips the ball for maximum spin; fiberglass gives a softer, more forgiving feel.
- Pick your core thickness — 16mm cores are plush and control-oriented; thinner cores add pop and power.
- Check the weight — Lighter paddles are quicker at the net; heavier paddles generate more power.
- Match your level — Beginners do best with forgiving, wide-sweet-spot paddles; advanced players can go for spin or power.
- Confirm USA Pickleball approval — Required for sanctioned tournament play.
Paddle Care Tips
- Avoid extreme temperatures — Do not leave your paddle in a hot car or direct sunlight.
- Use a protective cover — Store your paddle in a case when not in use.
- Clean the surface — Wipe the face with a damp cloth after play to remove debris.
- Check the edge guard — Inspect regularly for damage; replace if cracked.
- Rotate your grip — Replace the overgrip every 2–4 weeks for optimal feel.
