Paddle Accessories
Protect and personalize your paddle with covers to guard the face in your bag, edge guard tape to shield the rim from court scrapes, and grips to dial in feel and tack, including Lizard Skins.
How to choose: a fresh overgrip is the cheapest way to improve a paddle you already own - go tacky for spin and control, cushioned for comfort; add edge guard tape if you scrape the court on low shots.
An overgrip is a thin wrap that goes over your existing grip, adding tack or absorbency and slightly increasing grip size. It's inexpensive and quick to change. A replacement grip replaces the original base grip entirely, restoring cushioning when the old one is worn out. Options include Onix and Selkirk overgrip 3-packs and replacement grips from Head, Gamma and Selkirk. Shop all grips.
Change your overgrip when it starts to feel slick, worn or dirty. For players who play several times a week, that can mean every few weeks. Replace the base grip when it loses its cushioning or starts to tear. A fresh grip is one of the cheapest ways to make a paddle feel like new. Tacky grips, like the Lizard Skins DSP Ultra, improve control, while cushioned grips add comfort.
If you often scrape the court on low dinks and resets, edge guard tape protects your paddle's rim from chips and scuffs. Choose from the Selkirk Protective Edge Guard Tape and the Joola Edge Guard Tape in 24 mm and 15 mm widths. Tape adds a little weight to the head of the paddle, so lighter tape is best if you don't want to change the feel. Shop all edge guards.
Yes. A cover protects your paddle's face from scratches in your bag, while a hard case adds protection for travel. Options include the Joola Universal Neoprene Cover, Gamma G-Dot Neoprene Paddle Cover, Onix Paddle Cover and Pro Team Paddle Cover, and the Selkirk Premium Paddle Case and SLK Paddle Case. Shop all covers.
Ball residue and dirt build up on a textured face over time and reduce grip on the ball. A cleaning block, like the Selkirk Carbon Fiber Pickleball Cleaning Block or the Gamma Pickleball Paddle Cleaning Block, gently lifts that residue to restore the surface. Wipe the face with a damp cloth afterwards, avoid harsh chemicals, and store your paddle in a cover away from extreme heat.
A tacky towel, like the Selkirk Tacky Grip Towel or the Gamma Tacky Towel, keeps your hands and grip dry between points. An absorbent overgrip also helps, and players with very sweaty hands often wear pickleball gloves. Wristbands stop sweat from running down to your hand.
