Protective tape

Protective tape for your tennis racket

Protective tape is an essential accessory for anyone who wants to keep their tennis racket in good condition for as long as possible. With frequent use or contact with courts, walls, and net edges, the frame of a racket can get damaged. The right tape protects the edge of the racket and reduces the risk of wear, cracks, or chipped paint. We offer a wide range of protective tape from brands like HEAD, Wilson, Dunlop, and Babolat. These brands represent top-level quality and durability, with options available in various colors and sizes.

What is protective tape and why is it important?

Protective tape is applied to the bumper edge of your tennis racket and acts as a shield during contact with hard surfaces. While playing, you might accidentally hit the ground with your racket, especially on low balls or during quick movements. Without extra protection, the carbon frame can easily get damaged. This could later affect the balance or performance of the racket.

By applying protective tape in time, you extend the life of your racket. You'll be less likely to need a new frame or expensive repairs. Especially if you play often, it's a small investment that prevents problems and keeps your equipment in peak condition.

Our range of protective tapes

We carry protective tape from the four biggest tennis brands: HEAD, Wilson, Dunlop, and Babolat. Each tape differs in length, width, thickness, and color. This way, you can choose something that suits your playing style and the color of your racket.

HEAD offers tape with a transparent look, ideal if you want to keep your racket’s design visible. Wilson and Babolat offer black options, which are popular for their sleek appearance. Dunlop provides lightweight tape with a matte finish, perfect for players who want minimal extra weight on their racket. All types are self-adhesive and easy to apply at home.

Applying protective tape: simple and effective

Applying the tape is easy and usually takes just a few minutes. First, completely remove the old tape from the bumper edge of your racket. Then clean the surface with a dry cloth or a mild cleaning wipe.

Next, unroll the new tape evenly over the top of the frame. Start at one end and follow the shape of the racket with gentle tension. Press the tape down firmly to prevent air bubbles. Allow it to set for a few minutes before you start playing again.

When to replace your protective tape?

You’ll know it’s time to replace the tape when you see visible wear, cracks, or peeling edges. Tape that is partly loose or worn out offers less protection and can even attract dirt.

If you play often, it’s a good idea to check the condition of the tape weekly. Replace it before the frame makes direct contact with the ground to avoid possible damage.
