Weight Guide

Customize the feel

Small changes can make your paddle feel more stable, more powerful, or faster in hand.

Start here Not sure where to place weight?

Start at 4 + 8 o’clock or lower on the sides. This gives most players added stability and forgiveness without making the paddle feel too head-heavy.

3 + 9 o’clock Most stable

Best for blocks, resets, and off-center hits. Helps reduce twisting and makes the sweet spot feel larger side-to-side.

10 + 2 o’clock More power

Adds more plow-through for drives, counters, and put-away shots. This can make the paddle feel slower in hand.

Lower throat Keep it quick

Adds a more solid feel while keeping the balance lower. Best when you want stability without sacrificing fast hands.

01 Start small

Add a little weight first, play a session, then add more only if the paddle still feels unstable.

02 Mirror both sides

Use the same amount on the left and right side so the paddle keeps an even balance.

03 Cover lead tape

If using lead tape, cover it with edge tape or electrical tape after applying it.

04 Tungsten option

Use tungsten tape if you want a cleaner non-lead option for experimenting with weight.
