Paddle Edge Protection Tape

Edge tape is the cheapest insurance a paddle can have. Most paddle damage starts at the edge — a scrape on concrete when you dig out a low ball — and once the edge opens up, moisture gets into the core.

Why players pick this

• Protects the most vulnerable part of the paddle for a fraction of the cost of replacing it
• Three widths matched to paddle thickness, so the tape actually wraps the edge properly
• Four colours if you want to mark your paddle out

Specifications

• Widths: 20mm, 23mm, 26mm
• Weight: 40g per roll
• Brand: AMASPORT

Options

Match the width to your paddle's core thickness:

• 20 mm for 13mm paddles
• 23 mm for 16mm paddles
• 26 mm for 19mm paddles

Each in Navy Blue, White, Red, or Green.

What's included

• 1 × roll of edge protection tape

How to apply

Clean the edge with rubbing alcohol and let it dry — tape will not stick to a dusty or oily edge. Start at the throat, work around the head, and finish back at the throat so the join sits where it takes least abrasion. Press firmly along the whole length.

Good to know

Check your paddle's core thickness before ordering. Tape that is too narrow leaves the edge exposed; too wide and it wraps onto the face where it will affect ball contact.
