How to take care of your padel racket

Want to prevent your padel racket from looking like the picture above? Here are some tips on how to take care of your padel racket!

 

1. Use a Frame Protector

Using a frame protector in padel is crucial for extending the lifespan of your racket by shielding it from impacts, scratches, and potential cracks, which can occur from hitting walls, the ground, or other rackets. Here’s how:

Protection from Damage:

  • Padel rackets are constantly exposed to impacts during gameplay, whether it's against the walls, the ground, or even other rackets.

Preventing Cracks:

  • Frame protectors act as a barrier, absorbing the force of these impacts and preventing small cracks from forming, which can eventually lead to the racket becoming unusable.


Maintaining Aesthetics:

  • Frame protectors can also help maintain the overall appearance of your racket by preventing scratches and dings.

Easy Application:

  • Frame protectors are usually made of durable materials like tape or plastic, and are designed to be easily applied to the edges of the racket frame.

2. Change your over grip regularly

All new Padel rackets come with a base grip out of the box. However, to maintain optimal performance and take care of your padel racket, you should always use an over grip. Here’s why:

Improved Grip and Control:

  • A worn-out over grip can become slippery, especially when sweaty, making it difficult to maintain a firm hold on the racket and leading to missed shots or poor control.

Comfort and Performance:

  • A fresh over grip provides a more comfortable and secure feel, allowing you to play with greater confidence and focus.

Hygiene:

  • Over grips can absorb sweat and bacteria, leading to a buildup of unpleasant odours and potentially even skin irritation if left in place for too long.

Prevent Racket "Flying":

  • A worn-out over grip can lead to the racket slipping out of your hand, potentially causing injury or damage to the racket.

As a rule of thumb, it is recommended to change the over grip on your padel racket every 3-4 matches. Is your grip starting to look worn out? Get your over grips today!
