To maintain optimal paddle performance, regular cleaning is essential. When the ball strikes your paddle surface, it can leave behind residue from the ball itself or debris picked up from the court. Over time, this debris accumulates in the paddle's textured surface, causing it to feel smoother and reducing its grip on the ball.
For best results, clean your paddle after each playing session using a microfiber towel with mild soap and water. This simple maintenance routine will restore the paddle's original texture and grip, ensuring consistent performance match after match. Proper care extends the life of your paddle's surface significantly compared to untreated materials.
Pro Tip: Keep a microfiber towel in your equipment bag for quick cleaning between games during tournaments or extended play sessions.
