Pickleball Labs Tuning Kit

Three ways to add weight to a paddle, in one box. Tungsten tape for fine steps exactly where you want them, Weighted Clips for 3 gram changes on the edge, and Balance Caps to pull the balance back towards your hand. Between them you can make a paddle steadier, heavier through the ball or quicker at the kitchen line, and find out what it should have weighed all along.

What's in the kit

• Tungsten Tune-Up Tape: a 0.5 inch x 30 inch roll at 0.5g per inch, cut to length. Non-toxic tungsten, not lead.
• Weighted Clips 3g, 2-pack in White, Red, Black, Blue or Silver. Weight on the edge, one each side.
• Balance Caps: 6g, 9g and 12g caps that stick onto your paddle's butt cap, in their case.

How to use it

• Want more stability? Tape or clips at 3 and 9 o'clock on the sides.
• Want more power? Weight higher up the sides or along the top edge, and start smaller than you think.
• Paddle feels slow or head-heavy? A Balance Cap at the handle end pulls the balance back.

One change at a time: add weight, play a session, decide. Keep it symmetrical, the same weight at the same height on both sides, or the paddle will twist in your hand.

Tournament play

USA Pickleball's equipment standard allows weighting tape within placement limits near the edge and the handle. Handle weights and clip-on weights are not clearly on its list of permitted additions, so if you play sanctioned events, check with the tournament director first.

Bundle to save

Bought separately, the tape, clips and caps come to $84.85. As a kit it's $75.95.

Want the lot? The Ultimate Paddle Kit adds a paddle cover, edge guards and an overgrip.
