Franklin Edge Guard Tape
Protecting the edge of your paddle is one of the easiest ways to extend its lifespan, and the Franklin Edge Guard Tape makes that process simple. Designed to help reduce scratches, chips, and impact damage from court contact, this peel-and-stick tape creates a durable protective barrier around the edge of our paddle. The serrated edge design helps it conform more naturally around paddle curves for a cleaner installation with less bubbling or overlap, while the available 12mm and 16mm widths make it easy for us to match a wide variety of paddle profiles. Each package includes three edge guard strips, giving us multiple applications to keep our favorite paddles protected season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ What does pickleball edge guard tape do?
Edge guard tape helps protect the outer edge of your paddle from scrapes, chips, and impact damage caused by contact with the court or other hard surfaces.

+ How do I choose between 12mm and 16mm edge guard tape?
The best choice depends on the size of your paddle’s edge guard and the thickness of its core. Narrower edge guards typically work well with 12mm tape, while larger edge guards often benefit from the additional coverage of 16mm tape.

+ Is the tape difficult to install?
No. The peel-and-stick design allows for quick installation, and the serrated edges help the tape wrap smoothly around curved paddle edges for a cleaner fit.

+ How long does edge guard tape last?
Longevity depends on how often you play and how frequently your paddle contacts the court. Many players replace edge guard tape periodically as it absorbs wear that would otherwise affect the paddle itself.
