How to think about it
Where you put it is the whole gameWeight at the top of the paddle means more mass behind the ball and harder drives. Weight at the sides, around three and nine o'clock, widens the sweet spot and stops the paddle twisting on off-center hits. Split the difference and you get a bit of both.
Start small, add as you goTwo strips is a noticeable change. Ten is a different paddle. Put on a couple, play a session, then decide whether you want more. Every strip peels off cleanly if you overshoot.
Stays put through real playThe adhesive is built for the edge guard, not the face, and it holds through hard sessions and sweaty hands. Press it on firmly and it stays until you take it off.

As featured in
WHERE TO PUT IT
Three placements, three paddles
Clean the edge guard, peel the backing, press firmly. Play a session before adding more.
01 Top of the paddle: power
Two to four strips across the top edge, twelve o'clock. Swing weight goes up, drives get heavier, hand speed comes down a touch. Good for players who want more plow-through.
02 Sides of the paddle: stability
One to three strips each side at three and nine o'clock. The sweet spot widens and mishits stop twisting the paddle in your hand. Barely changes how fast it swings.
03 Near the handle: balance
Strips low on the edge near the throat add mass without much swing weight. Use it to counter a top-heavy setup or just to make the paddle feel more solid.
Tune it to your swing
Adhesive-backedTHE STRIPS
Cut to the edge guard
Each strip is sized to sit flat on a CPX edge guard without hanging over the face. Peel, press, done. Peel again if you change your mind.
10 per packTHE PACK
Enough to experiment
Ten strips lets you try a power setup one week and a stability setup the next, then settle on the one that suits how you actually play.

I'm experimenting with weights. These have been a perfect addition to my Max, giving me more stability and punch.
The weight strips are perfect to balance the sweet spot on the paddle.

Great product.
There’s not much to say about them other than they do what they’re supposed to do AND they match my paddle.
Lead paddle weights help me in my game that give an extra power.
I like the product (paddle weights). So I responded to your review inquiry by giving you five stars. But that wasn’t enough. Bait and switch. “Give us more ! We must have more!” And now I can’t “finish” my voluntary participation and go on about my day UNLESS I give you your more by writing something here? What the fuck? Here’s your more: you have lost your way. And me as a customer.
Nice and easy to apply and stays on.
The weights have helped my game with even more pop from this great paddle. Great product and great service.
Great paddle
Weights work great, really expand the sweet spot, makes for more accurate shots!❤️❤️
All is well!

QUESTIONS
Before you buy
Is adding weight legal for tournaments?
USA Pickleball allows lead tape on the edge guard as long as it does not extend onto the face. Keep it on the rim and you are fine.
How much weight is one strip?
Each strip adds a small increment, enough that two strips is a change you feel and ten is a substantially heavier paddle. Start with two or three and add from there.
Can I put it on the face?
No. It goes on the edge guard only. Face-mounted weight is not tournament legal and the adhesive is not designed for a textured surface.
Will it come off if I change my mind?
Yes. Peel slowly and it lifts clean. Any tack left behind wipes off with a bit of rubbing alcohol.
Should I cover it with edge tape?
Many players do. A wrap of Edge Guard Tape over the strips keeps them locked down and hides them. Not required, but it is a clean finish.
When will it arrive?
Orders placed before 3pm Central on a business day ship the same day from our Chicago warehouse, usually landing one to two business days later in the continental US.
WHY IT MATTERS
A stock paddle is a starting point
Every paddle ships at one weight and one balance. Your swing is not one-size-fits-all. Fifteen dollars of lead and an afternoon of trying placements gets you the paddle that was built for you, without buying a new one.
