The line-up
Paddle covers extend a paddle's lifespan by reducing edge dings and face scratches when paddles are stored together in bags. £15 saves a £150 paddle from accidental damage on the way to and from the court.
Eye protection is the accessory most amateurs skip and most experienced players insist on. Indoor pickleball involves a fast ball at face height, and the injury rate from ball-to-eye contact is non-zero. Polycarbonate sports lenses with proper ventilation are £30–£90 and effectively eliminate the risk.
Most accessories cost less than £15 and last longer than a paddle. Overgrips and lead tape are the two we recommend every player keep in stock at home. A worn overgrip slips at the worst possible moment; replacement is £4 of insurance.
If you're searching for pickleball glasses specifically, you're in the right place — every paddle, ball, or piece of kit on this page is matched to that intent and stocked here in the UK.

Frequently asked
Do I need eyewear for pickleball?
Recommended for indoor play, where the ball is fast and at face height. Outdoors it matters less. Polycarbonate sports lenses with good ventilation are the standard pick.
Can I wear regular sunglasses?
Not ideal — most don't have impact-rated lenses, and the standard frame fit isn't designed for active sport. Sport-specific eyewear like Oakley Radar or Tifosi Veloce is purpose-built and runs £40–£120.
How often should I replace my overgrip?
Every 5–15 sessions depending on how much you sweat and what compound you're using. A worn overgrip slips at the worst possible moment — it's £4 of insurance against losing a competitive point.
What does lead tape do on a paddle?
Adds weight to specific points on the frame — typically the head (more power) or the throat (more stability). 0.5g–2g is the usual range. Significant tuning is paddle-by-paddle.
