WILL WEIGHT HELP YOUR PICKLEBALL GAME?

WILL WEIGHT HELP YOUR PICKLEBALL GAME? 

Pickleball players looking to take their game to the next level are lifting weights - but not the kind you're thinking of! Lead tape (added in small increments and specific places on your paddle) can amplify your game in a few different ways: 

INCREASED SPIN 

A heavier paddle can help generate more spin on the ball, giving you greater control over the trajectory of your shots. 

GREATER CONSISTENCY 

A more balanced paddle allows you to hit shots with greater consistency.

CONFIDENCE VIA CUSTOMIZATION 

Having a paddle that is customized to your preferences can give you greater confidence on the court and help you play at your best. 

EQUIPMENT LONGEVITY 

Adding lead tape to the paddle, you may be able to make it more durable and resistant to damage from impacts or wear and tear. 

VIBRATION REDUCTION 

Additional paddle weight can reduce vibration and shock, making it easier to play longer with less fatigue. 

A LITTLE LEAD GOES A LONG WAY 

Lead tape makes the paddle heavier - so be mindful if you're new to the game, have yet to master the mechanics of the game, or have elbow issues, as additional weight might not be a good fit for your game.
