3. Setup and Preparation
Your Precision Pro paddles are ready for use right out of the box. However, you may wish to customize the grip for optimal comfort and performance.
3.1 Applying Additional Grip Tape
The set includes two additional grip tapes (one red, one black) to allow for a customized fit. If you prefer a thicker grip or need to replace the existing one, follow these steps:
- Carefully unwrap the new grip tape, starting from the tapered end.
- Begin wrapping the grip tape from the base of the paddle handle, overlapping slightly with each turn.
- Ensure the tape is applied firmly and evenly to avoid bumps or loose areas.
- Once the handle is fully covered, secure the end of the tape with the provided adhesive strip.

5. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your pickleball equipment:
- Cleaning Paddles: Wipe the paddle face with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Grip Care: If the grip becomes worn or loses its tackiness, replace it with one of the included additional grips or a standard pickleball overgrip.
- Storage: Always store your paddles and balls in the provided carrying case when not in use. This protects them from dust, moisture, and physical damage. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
- Ball Longevity: While durable, pickleball balls can wear out over time, especially with heavy outdoor use. Replace balls when they crack, lose their bounce, or become misshapen.

6. Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Reduced Paddle Performance | Worn paddle face, damaged core, or loose grip. | Inspect the paddle face for excessive wear. If the core feels soft or makes unusual sounds, the paddle may need replacement. Re-wrap or replace the grip if it's loose or worn. |
| Hand Blisters or Discomfort | Improper grip size or worn grip tape. | Apply one of the included additional grip tapes to increase grip thickness. Ensure your grip is firm but not overly tight. |
| Balls Losing Bounce | Normal wear and tear, especially from outdoor play; exposure to extreme temperatures. | Replace old balls with new ones. Store balls in a moderate temperature environment. |
