Weighted edge guard tape for pickleball paddles with protective edge coverage, peel-and-stick installation, and precision weighting to improve stability, balance, and paddle customization.

Franklin Weight/Edge Tape Combo
Dialing in paddle performance is easier with the Franklin Weight/Edge Tape Combo, a dual-purpose accessory that combines edge protection with customizable weighting. Each pack includes four precision-cut weighted strips that adhere directly to your paddle’s edge guard, helping protect against wear while adding mass where it can have the greatest impact on stability and performance.
The self-adhesive backing makes installation quick and secure, while the pre-cut design removes the guesswork from customization. Available in both 12mm and 16mm widths, this tape allows us to fine-tune paddle balance, reduce twisting on off-center contact, increase stability through the hitting zone, and create a more personalized feel on the court.
