A pickleball paddle that is too heavy for you can lead to poor play (too slow to get it in position) and potential arm pain (more weight = more stress to your arm). While the weight of your paddle is important (scale weight), the weight of your paddle as it swings is actually more important (swing weight).
In this video we share with you how to calculate your paddle's balance. Just how head-heavy is your pickleball paddle?

Pickleball Paddle: 3 Tips to Get your Pickleball Paddle ready for the Play.
Players worry about their paddle. Should I get a new pickleball paddle? Tom's paddle looks like a winner. And so on.
Timestamps - 3 Tips to Get your Pickleball Paddle ready for the Play
00:00 - Introduction
00:35 - Why you should use Paddle Tape and How to wrap Pickleball Paddle Grip
06:50 - Pickleball Lead Tape
13:55 - Pickleball Edge Tape
16:37 - Pickleball Conclusion
Once we get the pickleball paddle, we don't give it a second thought. But there are things you can do to improve your current pickleball paddle - the one sitting in your bag. In this video, we go over three things:
1 - how and why to apply an overgrip to your pickleball paddle - prolong the life of the grip that came with your pickleball paddle and keep your grip dry with these overgrips.
2 - how and why to apply lead tape to your pickleball paddle - you can achieve better balance, improve power, move the sweet spot, and reduce pickleball paddle twist with lead tape.
3 - how and why to apply edge guard tape to your paddle - prolong your paddle's life and keep the lead tape covered (if you applied lead tape).
Check out the video and get better results with your paddle.
Good luck out there.

Swingweight is not a concept that is commonly spoken of in pickleball but is well-defined in other sports.
The DIYGolfer.com defines it as follows:
I can say it most simply, swing-weight is how the club “feels” in your hand.
In an article on Tennis Warehouse University, Crawford Lindsey defines it more technically as follows:
Swingweight is a measurement of a racquet's resistance to being rotated about an axis going through your hand. A low swing weight makes it easy for the player to swing the racquet (maneuverable). But it also makes it easy for the ball to move the racquet, resulting in loss of power.
The author then suggests an approach to understand the concept:
1. Swing your paddle normally (holding it from the grip)
2. Turn the paddle around (hold it from the top of the paddle) and swing it.
You should be able to tell the difference in the weight of the paddle each time.
Swingweight is derived from three factors:
1. The paddle's total weight; Obviously, the heavier the paddle, the harder it will be to swing (think of a 12 oz wood paddle vs. a 7.5 oz honeycomb paddle).
2. the paddle’s head balance (how much of the paddle’s weight is shifted towards the top as opposed to the bottom). Think of paddle balance like this: your paddle measures 16 inches long, making the middle of the paddle 8 inches from either top or bottom. If your paddle was evenly balanced, you could lay the middle line of your paddle(the 8 in. mark) on the edge of another paddle you were holding, and it would balance in place. A head heavy paddle will balance at a point that is closer to the head than the bottom. And a headlight paddle (which we have not yet come across) will balance closer to the bottom than the head. Below we discuss how you can calculate your own paddle’s head balance; and
3. total paddle length. The longer the paddle, the higher the swing weight. Think of trying to whip around a 30-inch paddle even if it is evenly balanced.
A real-world example. The ProKennex Kinetic Pro Speed has a head balance score of +11. This translates to the actual balance point being 1 3/8” closer to the head than the even balance point. This means that more of the paddle’s total weight is concentrated close to the top than the paddle's bottom. The weight concentration increases the swing weight of the paddle.
This is not a good or bad result. It is just a result. It allows us to compare paddles with each other.
Take another paddle that is 15 3/8” long (same as the Pro Kennex) and has the same gross weight (8.1 oz). But this paddle has a head balance score of 14. We would expect this second paddle's swing weight to be higher (heavier feeling) than the Pro Kennex. If the score of the second paddle was 7, we would expect it to feel much lighter.
The paddle characteristic we are really interested in is swing weight. Head balance is one factor that determines a paddle’s swing weight.
On one last note, you can use lead tape to move your paddle's actual balance point, either closer to the top (heavier) or grip (lighter). Curiously, you can lower the swing weight of your paddle by making the overall paddle weight heavier.

The dead dink gets a bum rap on the pickleball courts as well as in pickleball videos and newsletters. It is unfortunate because what is referred to as the dead dink has a definite place in pickleball - particularly in the manner we demonstrate in this this video.
Thanks to Tyson for helping us demonstrate the uses of this pickleball dink.
Let's rise above the noise.

Pickleball Tips to Close Out your Game - From up 9-6-1 to a loss at 9-11 | The Game that Slipped Away
What do you do when you're up in a pickleball game?
See if this story has ever happened to you. You're serving at 9-6-1. A couple of minutes later, you're up at the net tapping paddles. Your opponents are saying, “great game.” You're looking at your partner going, “I don't know what happened.”
In this video, I want to give you some tips for what you can do when you're the team serving at 9-6-1. And then, in the end, we're going to talk about some tips that you can do when you're the team that's down 6-9 to get back into it and maybe come out on top.
Let’s start with the team that has 9. You want to focus on two things. One, you want to have some sort of a plan. And we're talking here about not just regular rec play. We're talking about the more competitive play when you're playing one of those games. You can have a brief conversation with your partner and say, “hey, nine, six, one, let's do this” You're going to basically implement a plan with your partner to make sure that the point is productive.
..........................................................
Visit VIPickleball - https://www.wearepickleball.com/
Our podcast Pickleball therapy is designed for your
improvement and mental conditioning: https://anchor.fm/in2pickle
Our Book Play Pickleball: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089NY26H8
..........................................................
And that's a fundamental concept. When you're playing pickleball, when you're serving at a score like 9-6, you have to make sure that you're productive. You may not win the rally, but you want to make sure that you're productive. In VIPickleball, that's a concept that we really spent a lot of time focusing on, produced when you're the survey team.
So if you're on the team at 9-6-1, you're putting the ball in play, and you're making them hit some sort of ball to beat you. The other thing you want to do is make sure that if you're the team in control if you get sided out, make sure that there is no return to serve miss four shots if you're in this position.
Make sure that you're really focusing on maintaining that advantage and not allowing that 6 to creep up the 7 or 8 because that's when things get tricky.
What you do when you're on the team with 6?
A couple of different things. Obviously want to be productive, too. But what you want to focus on when you're on the team with 6.
You want to really understand that the team with 9 is starting to get tight. Their arms are getting tight. Their legs are getting tight. Everything is getting tight. You want to make sure that you make the team with 9 hit the ball. Ensure that the 9 team touches that ball because you want to ensure that you can be tight.
If the 9 team makes an error, you get it to seven. And then even 8, maybe 9. The 9 teams will be so tight; you just keep hitting the ball and let them basically give you the game.
Remember, next time you're playing pickleball out there, if you're the team that's up 9-6, you've got to close it out. You've got to make sure that you're productive when you have an opportunity to serve. And if you're up and you're serving, just make sure you take a moment to think about what your next strategy will be, trying to avoid letting the 6 teams creep back in. Because what'll happen is invariably the nerves will kick in, your arms will get tight, adrenaline starts pumping, all that kind of stuff.
So you want to make sure that if you're the team ahead, you keep on focusing on what you have to do to close it out. If you're the team that's behind, work one point at a time, recognize that if you score a point and then the next point that your opponents are going to get tight, use that to your advantage and see if you can tie it up and maybe win the pickleball game.
Good luck out there.
