Accessories

Overgrips, lead tape, edge guard tape, eyewear and the small things that fix real problems.

How to choose

Buying accessories without the guesswork

  1. 1

    Overgrips

    The cheapest upgrade in pickleball. Tacky grips help sweaty hands; a second overgrip builds up a handle that is too thin.

  2. 2

    Lead tape

    Adds weight to specific spots on the paddle: the top for power, the sides for stability, the throat for a lower balance. Start with 2–4 grams and adjust.

  3. 3

    Eyewear

    A ball to the eye at the kitchen line is not rare. Protective eyewear is cheap insurance, especially for hands battles.

  4. 4

    Edge guard tape

    Protects the edge from ground scrapes and keeps the guard from separating.
