Attaching a padel racket frameprotector or edge protector is usually straightforward when you follow a few tips. With the wide variety of protectors available on the market, these instructions may not apply to all types, but they should provide some helpful hints for easier installation.
The Padelnation padel racket frame protector is easy to install. The permanent acrylic-based adhesive ensures that the padel racket edge protector stays firmly in place when correctly applied.
-
Clean the Racket Head: Remove dirt and grease by wiping it with a damp cloth. For more effective cleaning, use an alcohol-based cleaner. Dry the racket head thoroughly. For the best results, install the protector on a new racket before it has suffered any damage.
-
Prepare the Protector: Fold the head protector in the middle to reveal the center of the protector.
-
Apply the Protector: Peel back the backing of the protector tape halfway to the fold and align the center of the protector with the center of the racket’s frame. Begin applying one side from the center towards the edge. Ensure the protector is centered and free from wrinkles.
-
Apply the Other Side: Peel back the remaining protector tape and carefully apply the second side towards the edge, following the same steps as in step 3.
-
Check for Irregularities: Make sure there are no wrinkles or bubbles in the protector. If you notice any during application, gently remove or reposition the protector as needed.
-
Heat the Protector: Lightly heat the protector with a heat gun or hairdryer. This helps the protector conform better to the racket and prevents the edges from peeling. Be careful not to overheat the protector.
-
Finalize the Application: Press down any remaining bubbles or wrinkles to ensure a smooth application.
Now your custom frame protector is ready to take hits and display your important message on the padel court!
Some edge protectors adhere better when warmed slightly during installation. However, be cautious not to overheat the protector.
