Doooo eeeeet!!!
I’m really enjoying your channel. Very interesting and entertaining. Keep ‘‘em coming👍🏼👍🏼
Another superior video on instruction and information! And the humor was a nice touch!
This is the best.. you guys are easily becoming the most entertaining pickle channel ! I’d love to leaden you my face around the handle for more stability as I have a long handle and hold it real low on the knobber
I definitely starting with power & stability tape and then slowly moving my tape either higher or lower will help me find that sweet spot. I have one paddle that’s a pretty light/control paddle I might try a power tape on to see if I can reclaim it.
Very useful information! Will definitely share with other Pball friends.
Great Video. Im relatively new to Pickleball and im very inconsistent . im going to have to try some of these setups to see what helps me out.
Wow.. I didn't know about the importance of different location for this. Great info!
Great Vid!!
Mine is a Spin/Power game and think the 10-2 and maybe an inch or so at 12 might be the right recipe! Looking fwd to trying this out!
I do a hybrid of example 1 and 2 but closer to example 2. Noticeable difference. I wasn't aware of a tungsten tape option - good idea.
Good information! Originally, I watched Ben Johns deliver a video explaining how he set up his Franklin paddle so I set my Gamma Hellbender up in a similar fashion for more stability and, as you put it, hand speed. I ended up having to reduce the amount of weight a couple of times to get to a level that matched my playing style. After watching this, I prefer your method of putting the weighted tape on the electric tape for easier adjustments. Thanks for the advice!
That’s amazing man!! Customizing your paddle can be that little extra in your game that was missing
Absolutely love the graphics guys! Looks so clean.
Thanks!!!
3 paddles= 3 different setups for me, then maybe I can decide. Great video thanks for making.
Great video guys & girl. Thanks.
Never even knew there were so many options . I like both the power setup at the top of the paddle as well as adding 4 & 7. Going to try it out and will let you know how it goes. Thanks.
Yeah. Let us know.
Very good video. I feel I need to add some weight to my paddle as it is very light and gives me good control but not a whole lot of power!
Good video, will try today
Lol you guys are great! I’m loving the content, keep it up! I like lead on the throat on my control paddle, and 10&2 on my power paddle. That way I grab whichever paddle I’m feeling for the day! I’d love to try the tungsten tape though!
Also, when can we get some PB Mafia gear?!?!?
Love the energy and positive feedback Tyler!!
Tungsten is just the safe version of lead, we just want to make sure we tell people this. PB Mafia gear coming soon.... maybe....
Great video and set-up...
In all honesty, i love the 10 and 2 setup. Power and stability are the way to go!!
I use tape from 3 to 4:30 and from 7:30 to 9. I find it gives me more control and more power on my elongated Selkirk paddle.
I originally played with pure drive and power, but now I am slowly turning towards spin and placement. I still enjoy to drive a ball with power for serves.
Excellent video. I've watched several videos describing how to add weight to a paddle, but none of them employed tungsten tape or suggested adding the weight to the tape first. I really think the method you recommend is better.
Thank you for the feedback!! Love it
Gonna need to experiment to try out both the hand speed/stability and the power/stability ones. I could use a bit more power to be sure, but mishits are definitely my bigger problem.
thanks for the information i would like to try this for a bigger sweet spot and power
Super informative, this is great!
Thank you!!!
I am going to try power and stability. I would love to try the tape. Thanks
Great video. I started with tape at top end for power on my heavier Engage pro but removed it because of tennis elbow symptoms.
Then I bought a featherweight 7.2 Engage Pursuit MX so I added 14 grams total, 7 on each side at 5 and 7 o’clock for stability. Added 1/2 ounces so now I have a very stable 7.7 oz Engage
That’s amazing feedback!! I personally love the stability added weight can give.
I was just thinking of adding lead tape to my paddle and would probably try out the hand speed and stability set up. I could always be a little quicker at the net.
4 and 5 o’clock for me. Great advice!
solid choice my friend!!
Another great video!
I guess I use a combo of two methods. I place lead tape all the way across the top of the paddle and half way down the sides. This makes for quite a heavy paddle (9.3 oz), but since I still play a lot of tennis, this set-up still feels light as a feather to me.
I added about 12 grams to my paddle, just to give it more of that tennis feel. Paddles can feel super light!!
Thanks for the info, I had not heard of using tungsten tape in lieu of lead tape. My taping differs with each paddle, depending on the paddle balance before modification. I tend to tape for stability and to slightly modify the balance (generally moving from head heavy to more neutral balance).
very interesting!! love hearing that you are mixing it up with your modifications.
Very informative
I think I'd like the 2nd set up best but I'll have to try them all out.
I think I would try #2. Would love to try your kind of tape!
I've been using my stash of lead tape for ages on my tennis racquets and table-tennis paddles. Had no idea tungsten is now available! I usually prefer head-light balance on tennis racquets but because the swing-weight is so low with PB paddles (due to shorter length) I place my tape higher up around mid-height.
awesome feedback!! Yes Tungsten is what we like
Never heard of tungsten tape before. I’ve always used lead since playing tennis in the 1970’s. Am now eager to try this! Thanks
Tungsten tape is danged spendy. I just saw one listing for almost $15 for 10 GRAMS of tape...roughly 1/3 of an ounce!!!
Love the videos. I had planned on #1 but now have more options to try by putting the lead on the tape. Awesome idea. Do you have any suggestions or guidance on how much weight to start with and the typical total amount?
I personally started with 5 grams and went all the way up to 12 grams. It’s really whatever you prefer. I would start light and work your way up. Because even a couple grams will have an effect on your body and game play
I like you video and appreciate the suggestions about tungsten tape.’
Awesome video!
Look at this handsome guy
Best set up for me would be at 4-5 and 7-8. Like the suggestion to put the lead tape on the tape to be able to adjust to fry the right feel.
I think the stability and control would be best for my power game
Thanks👍
thats exactly what i think too!! thanks for the feedback.
I don't need any tape, but the recommendations are useful. In my younger days, and as a small fellow with not as much oomph on my strokes as the big guys, I used to put weight on the top of my tennis racquets. However, in my old age, I'm pretty sure my response time is slowing. So, I think I'll take some ten-year-old coated lead tape that my son used to use on his racquets and try making my paddled heavier on the handle side. Maybe my response time will improve? (Don't worry. I'll be careful.)
I would add the tape first to the 9 and 3. Will try that out and then possibly add to the handle for the whip factor
I am needing more control and stability. I will be setting mine up at the 5 and 7 0'clock positions on my Engage Pursuit.
Facts only in this video!!! Most important, I out bench Jon all dayyyyyy
4-5 and 7-8 for stability. Waiting for a Gearbox G6 Control paddle that I plan to do this to. Happy pickleballing!
Love that feedback!! Curious about that paddle, we need to check that paddle out for sure.
I love the 10 and 2 set up
right there with you!! how much weight do you add? I usually add 10grams or so.
Power and stability setup. Essential for modern, faster play
My paddle feels like a well balance paddle. I believe I will benefit placing the weight at the 10 and 2 o’clock for stability and power.
I'm going to try the 10 and 2 method bit need clarification....start a strip of tape at 10 o'clock on one side and another strip at 2 o'clock on the other side and then go down how far on each side?
?
So how much extra weight does a few straps of tape add. If heard that so pros add 4 ozs. extra, which seems like a lot.
i used to tape my tennis racquets at 10 & 2 so that's a good starting point till I find what is best
think I will try the side for power and stability.
Where would I put lead tape on my paddle to help with topspin? I don't need power. Thanks.
10 & 2
Throat for stability is how I set up. I like the head heavy setup for power, but it ends up wearing on me.
I’d like to try the all of them honestly. I find I hit the dead spot more than I like so Id start with the control first
That’s exactly what we did initially to figure out what area did what! Smart move
Definitely the control area. Never thought of leading up the base of the grip.
It’s very common in the tennis scene to put lead on the grip. It works! You can even put it under your grip.
@@thedutchinvestor040 I have just the paddle I need to try this on. Thank you.
Awesome! For me, occasionally developing pickleball elbow, the stability setup is the one for me. Sorry guys.
10 and 2 seem to be the way to go.
I would like to try the 4-5 7-8 position to be able to move my paddle head faster at the net. Do not want to use lead so can you mention where to get tungsten tape??
Pickleball central, tennis warehouse, Fromuth and pretty much all the larger sports stores!
So I actually do 2 strips on each side. 2-5 and then 7-10
Have to be careful which "strips" you are using. I have lead tapes that goes from 1/4 gram per inch to TWO grams per inch.
I love my set up!
Now you are ready for the playoff championship!
@@thepickleballmafia1165 lets gooooo
Power and Stability is what I think I would be looking for.
What is the white weighted tape they use?
What tungsten tape do you use?
I'm interested in testing tungsten tape. Would the same length of lead weigh the same as tungsten? How much do you know to add. Any general guidelines like 3 grams per side?
Lots of variation in weight per inch, even among lead tapes. I have some well under a gram per inch and one that is TWO grams per inch. Best to check the particular one you are interested in.
Few grams on the butt then 4 to 5. Try to keep paddle more balanced rather than head heavy
Liked the video! How do I get the free tape?
8 and 4 for me or maybe even 9 and 3
4 and 5 o'clock all day, why? Because i trust Ben Johns, and that what he said he does...
Smart man!!!
Probably stability for me
I think I would benefit from tape at 3/4 and 7/8. Watch out if you're on the other side of the net!!!
30 years of working on tennis rackets suggests to me that ADDING weight(anywhere) can't increase your hand speed. It can surely change the balance; but you won't swing a HEAVIER object FASTER with the same swing.
Otherwise, a thought-provoking and informative video.
And the lead tape on my paddles goes from the hips to the shoulders for a total paddle weight of 9.2oz, give or take.
I would add tape to the end of the paddle. The only thing that matters is power of course
How to buy these tangten tapes? I want to try these.
stability for me
I am aging a little, but I think I like the butt idea and the 4 and 8. Thanks
Hand Speed and Stability.
base for me
Hand speed and stability and power
Power tape at the top
Top for my singles 4 o’clock for doubes
Any more tungsten tape?late to the party
Nah, it's about the washi tape. You heard it here first..Victoria knows 💙
Wow, been using lead tape since my younger tennis days. I've never used tungsten tape. Please save me from the lead tape!!!
Anyone else find it odd that the person that adds weight to their paddle for power is using a supper expensive touch paddle. He could have saved a bunch of time and money buying the right paddle for his play style.
I'll give 10 and 2 a go if you send me the tape. ;-)
This video is total BS. Except lead tape on the side does make the sweet spot bigger. Putting tape on the handle just makes you slower.
I’ll have what she’s having 😏
