How to Prepare and Protect a New Pickleball Paddle

When I get a new paddle, I always prepare it with the following:

• put a overgrip onto the handle - I change the overgrip when it gets dirty or looses it’s tackiness

• Put a layer of electrical tapes on the top edge of the paddle to protect it from scratches

• put my name on the paddle, either with a band, or a tag, or just sharpie the name onto the electrical tape

Overgrip

I have two types of overgrip that I like:

• wilson pro grip

• UDrippin comfort tour grip - Use Ali’s discount code ALI15 to get 15% off.
