Taking care of your pickleball equipment (How do I make sure my paddle lasts longer?)

1. Cleaning your paddle.

Our paddles are constructed using raw Toray Carbon Fiber, which provides next level spin, but can be a bit challenging to clean. You may notice white residue from the ball on the surface over time. We recommend using a damp microfiber cloth or any lint free cloth to clean the surface of your paddle as needed.

2. Temperatures

Extreme temperatures can distort many items, including the adhesive materials used to assemble your pickleball paddle. To avoid extreme cold, heat, or humid environments it is recommended that you store your paddle indoors. Although it is convenient to keep your paddles in the trunk of your car so that you are. Try to avoid storing your paddle in extreme cold, heat or humid environments. It is recommended that you store your paddle inside. Keeping your paddle in your car might sound like a nice idea to make sure you are always ready to play, it is not recommended due to temperature changes. Additionally, our paddle is made with a honeycomb core, which can trap moisture inside if it is left in a humid environment.

3. Be gentle

Be kind to your paddle and it will be kind right back to you! Avoiding your paddle making contact with the ground, your partner’s paddle, or any other hard surface will increase the lifespan and limit external damages (nothing wrong with an old school high five to celebrate an awesome point).Take a moment to examine your edge guard frequently. If you notice scratches or other signs of wear around the edge guard, this may be a signal that the paddle is scratching the ground often while reaching for the ball. Edge guard protective tape or electrical tape can provide a quick and easy fix to provide extra protection for your paddle.
