Protect Your Investment: Maintaining Raw Carbon Fiber

A professional-grade paddle like a Xephira is a precision instrument. Over time, ball debris and skin oils can fill the microscopic texture of the carbon fiber, reducing your spin potential.

The Cleaning Protocol

• The Rubber Eraser: Use a dedicated pickleball paddle eraser to lift plastic residue from the grit without damaging the fibers.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use glass cleaners or solvents, which can break down the resin in the carbon fiber face.
• Storage: Always store your paddle in a thermal cover to protect the core from extreme temperature fluctuations.
