02 / The objectOne strip, made once
Cover for the bit that hits the wall.
The top of your frame takes every scrape off the glass, the fence and the floor. A protector sits over that edge and takes the scuffs instead.
Protection
It takes the scuffs
The top edge is what meets the glass and the floor. A skin covers the top of it, so the scrapes land on a strip you can replace and not on your paint.
Design
It's yours
Six designs, three colourways each, and a race-number roundel at the crown with your number or initials.

05 / Questions
Fair questions.
Something else? Email hello@padelskins.co.uk and a real person will answer.
What exactly am I buying?
A code. It is pre-paid credit for one Padel Skin: a padel racket protector printed with the design you choose and your number or initials. You use the code in our studio when it opens in January 2027.
What is a racket protector?
A tough adhesive strip that sits over the top edge of your racket's frame. That edge is what hits the glass and scrapes the court, and it's where scuffs and chipped paint start. Most protectors are clear tape or plain black rubber. Ours come in a design you choose, with your number on it.
When will I get it?
The studio opens in January 2027. Once you send us your design, we print and post it within four weeks of you sending us your design. Everyone with a code gets an email the moment the studio is open.
Will it fit my racket?
It is made to the standard protector size, 370 mm long and 35 mm wide, which suits most padel rackets in round, teardrop and diamond shapes. It won't sit well on a frame with a rough or sculpted top, or one with weights built into the top. If it doesn't fit yours, send us a photo and we'll refund you.
Does it change how the racket plays?
Any protector adds a few grams at the top of the racket, which makes it feel very slightly more head-heavy. Most players never notice, and some prefer it. We'll publish the exact weight of ours once Drop 01 is in production.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Any code that hasn't been used is refundable for 90 days from the day you bought it. Once you've sent us your design it is made for you, so we can only refund it if it arrives faulty or doesn't fit.
How does the gift card work?
You choose an e-card, a card to print at home or a printed card in the post. Each one carries a code. They enter it in the studio in January 2027, design their own skin, and we post it to them. Postage is included.
Who is behind Padel Skins?
We're a new brand from Canterbury in Kent. Drop 01 is our first run, which is why we're taking pre-orders and printing every skin to order.
