I watched you set up another paddle a while ago. I've been using this system for a few months now and love it. I do change the overgrip about every 2-3 weeks as it becomes soiled.

Yeah, I can’t handle a soiled overgrip! Glad it’s been helping your game!

Great video. I love my hesacore. Picked one up about 7 months ago and haven’t looked back. I like how I can register my fingers/knuckles for different grips depending on the shot I want to make. Gives that extra bit of grip security when the heat is on and you’re playing hard. 😊

Great video! Super helpful. Just wondering, have you ever tried putting tungsten tape inside the Selkirk paddle hole to see if that makes any difference?
@pickleballplaybook6 ай бұрын
I have. Doesn’t really make a difference in my opinion! It does seem cool to put it there cause the. You don’t block the logo, but there’s no difference in feel. It just feels heavier!

2:32 - I've always installed the small, tapered end of the over grip first. Have i been doing it backwards the entire time? I thought I learned it from watching videos on KZbin.
@pickleballplaybook6 ай бұрын
You probably did learn that way. 99% of people do it that way, but for me it makes no sense that way because you have to add a step. When you finish with the big end you need to cut the big end to look like the small end so it tapers off
@luke98226 ай бұрын
@@pickleballplaybook That makes sense for finish, although I'm cutting either way because it's longer than needed. However, beginning the wrap with the large squared side requires you to wrap one full rotation around the bottom before adjusting your angle, which causes extra thickness at the very bottom. Maybe that's a personal preference to have a more flared bottom of the handle?
@pickleballplaybook6 ай бұрын
Almost every single paddle has a butt cap is what they’re called. These but caps come out further on the bottom anyway. So adding that little extra half rap doesn’t do anything, especially when pulled really tight. With the other way you have to cut your grip twice, this way just initially to make it shorter if you’re using a tennis grip. I should do a video on this at some point!

@jtdavis7716 ай бұрын
Nice video. Only thing to keep in mind is that adding weight to your paddle never increases hand speed. But the spot you add weight at the throat just affects swing weight the least. So say your paddle stock is 110 swing weight it may only go up to 112 so just very minimally slowing your hands. But greatly improves sweet spot, twist weight, and feel so it’s worth it for most folks.
@pickleballplaybook6 ай бұрын
Interesting. What if I put the weight close to my hand? I feel like distributing the weight closer to your hand should increase hand speed. Especially with a head heavy paddle?
@itsDecap6 ай бұрын
@@pickleballplaybookit will “decrease the SW” compared to placing the weight elsewhere, but this person is right in that by adding weight in general, there is absolutely no way to decrease a paddle’s SW when adding weight. It may feel quicker depending on where you place the weight, but never faster than the paddle without weight
@adamheath45996 ай бұрын
@@pickleballplaybookyeah, with the weight down at the handle, you may be able to torque the paddle better therefore leading to an increase in wrist lag and subsequently the whip speed. But in terms of actually just moving the paddle it won’t be any faster and will just be marginally slower

Like Austin mentioned in the video, it may be worth trying out the extra small, if the standard isn’t comfortable. A friend of mine uses the carbon hesacore, which is much more stiff than the others and isn’t comfortable for me.

Why don't players just wear a glove if they find their paddle grip slipping? I'm an ex racquetball player so I wear a glove and never have slippage issues.
@pickleballplaybook6 ай бұрын
I have no idea. One thing I like about the hesacore grip is that it fills my hand. If I just have a normal grip on there it leaves gaps that mess with my grip slightly and moves the bottom of my palm out of place of where it should be. Also gloves are generally viewed by most as quite nerdy too. I’d love to see why other people don’t wear gloves!
