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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEye 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost accessories cost less than £15 and last longer than a paddle.
