Warranty Claim Process
Edgeguard & Paddle Lifespan
Your paddle’s edgeguard will likely take more abuse than any other part of your paddle. Accidental hits to the ground and consistent impact of the ball affects the integrity of the glue and the edgeguard-paddle bond. There are many additional contributors to the strength of the glue’s bond such as weather and frequency of play.
Although you may want to slap yourself to get into gear or celebrate a great shot by hitting your paddle against your hip, we suggest a loud LET’S GO instead. Rough hits like such against your body or feet can cause the neck of your paddle to become weak and may break.
Graphics will start to fade over time- part of hitting a pickleball!
The lifetime of your paddle depends on how well the paddle is care for and how often it is played. If you play daily, expect to replace your paddle after a year. If you play a couple times a week, your paddle should last about 3 years. *Lifetime is also conditional on style of play.
