Everything you need to know about cleaning your paddle with Paddle Putty.
The tacky putty presses into the micro-texture of your paddle face and grabs embedded ball dust and dirt. When you peel it away, that grime lifts out of the surface and into the putty — freeing the texture that grips the ball for spin and control.
Yes. Paddle Putty is non-abrasive and residue-free, making it safe for raw carbon fiber, fiberglass, graphite and long-lasting grits. It lifts dirt without scrubbing or solvents, so it won't wear down your paddle's texture the way abrasive pads can.
A single tin lasts months of regular play. The putty is reusable — just knead the trapped dirt into it to refresh the surface. Replace your tin when the putty stops feeling tacky or no longer cleans effectively.
Your putty lasts a long time, so you won't be replacing it often. Reach for a fresh tin when it starts to lose its tackiness and its colour darkens with trapped dirt — that's the sign it's full and no longer grabbing grime as well. Until then, just keep kneading it and it'll keep working.
For outdoor play, a quick dab before or after each session keeps your face consistent. Indoor players can clean every few sessions. It takes under a minute, so most players make it part of their warm-up ritual.
No. Paddle Putty leaves zero residue — no sticky film, streaks or smell. Your paddle is ready to play the moment you peel the putty away.
