{"product_id":"pickleball-labs-balance-caps","title":"Pickleball Labs Balance Caps (6g, 9g, 12g Set)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBalance Caps add weight at the very end of your handle. Each one is a weighted disc that sticks onto the butt cap your paddle already has, and the case holds all three: 6 grams, 9 grams and 12 grams. Weight down there moves the balance point back towards your hand, so the paddle gets heavier and steadier without getting much slower to swing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy weight the handle\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTame a head-heavy paddle.\u003c\/strong\u003e If your paddle feels sluggish at the kitchen line, a cap pulls the balance back and makes it quicker in your hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCounterbalance tape up top.\u003c\/strong\u003e Added lead or tungsten tape at the top edge for power?
