Head Antishock Skin Padel Racket Protection Tape

£8.99

Head Antishock Skin padel racket protection tape is a thin polyurethane tape you fit to the frame of a padel racket, for players who want to stop scrapes on a new racket without much weight.

Racquet Depot's copy gives 6 g and 0.35 mm for code 288503, and a Greek retailer says the coating helps absorb shocks. We list this tape twice, here and as the Head Anti-Shock Skin tape, and the retailer data treats them as one product.

Protection that adds almost nothing

Racquet Depot calls it the lightest protector with a stated weight, at 6 g, which is why it suits players who've just bought a mid-range or premium racket and don't want the balance to move. The 0.35 mm thickness comes from the same copy.

Retailers describe polyurethane and a wear layer you replace in place of the frame. Head also sells a separate tennis protection tape cut from a roll, so don't mix the two. We found no roll length or pack size.

Not for you if

You want armour for a heavy-scrape racket. This is a thin skin, and we couldn't find its dimensions.

Fitting it

Wipe the frame clean, lay the tape along the top edge and press it down without stretching. Replace it when it's chewed. Our padel racket protector page lists other options, and padel accessories has the rest of the small kit. A new padel racket is the best time to fit it.

Pair it with

A fresh overgrip from padel grips and a padel bag with a racket compartment.
