Inside this collection
Lead tape is the cheap upgrade most players don't know about. A few grams of tape at the head or sides of a paddle changes its swing weight and sweet-spot placement noticeably. Costs under £10 for enough tape to tune three paddles.
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.
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 — 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
Replacement grip vs overgrip — what's the difference?
A replacement grip is the base layer that wraps directly to the handle. Overgrip goes on top. You replace the base grip every 6–12 months, the overgrip every 5–15 sessions.
How thick should my grip be?
Standard handle is 4.0–4.25" circumference. Adding overgrip thickens by 1/16". Thicker grips (4.5"+) reduce wrist snap; thinner grips (3.75") allow more wrist action. Match your stroke style.
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.
Do I need eyewear for pickleball?
Recommended for indoor play, where the ball moves fast and at face height. Outdoor play it matters less. Polycarbonate sports lenses with good ventilation are the right pick.
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.
