The Science of Friction: Maintaining Your Paddle’s Spin Potential

The raw carbon fiber surface of a Xephira paddle is engineered with microscopic "teeth" that grab the ball. Over time, plastic residue from pickleballs fills these gaps, leading to a "slick" face and reduced spin.

The Pro Maintenance Routine:

  1. Use a specialized Rubber Cleaning Block to erased ball fibers without damaging the carbon weave.
  2. Avoid liquid cleaners that can seep into the honeycomb core and cause delamination.
  3. Store in a thermal-lined bag to prevent core expansion in extreme heat.
