Product Information
Full details
The Head Antishock Skin is an essential accessory for padel and tennis players looking to extend the lifespan of their rackets by protecting the frame from court-side bumps and scratches. This ultra-lightweight, 0.35 mm thick protective tape acts as a durable, shock-resistant barrier that maintains the original balance and feel of your racket. While it is incredibly effective at preventing surface damage, it is a single-use adhesive product and requires precise application to ensure longevity during high-intensity matches.

FAQs
Will this tape change my racket's balance?
At only 6 grams, the weight impact is negligible for almost all players and will not significantly alter the balance point of your racket.
Can I remove the skin once applied?
Yes, it can be removed, but the adhesive is designed for durability and may leave residue behind that will require a gentle solvent to clean.
Is this only for padel rackets?
While marketed for padel, its dimensions and material make it suitable for tennis racket frames as well.
How many come in a pack?
Each pack contains one individual unit (1 pc).
How often should I replace the skin?
Replace it whenever you notice significant surface wear, tears, or if the edges begin to lose their adhesive grip.
Does it protect against internal frame cracks?
No, this is a surface protection product meant to prevent cosmetic damage and light scrapes, not structural racket failure.
Troubleshooting
Tape peeling at the corners
Ensure the racket frame is completely clean and dry before application; wiping the frame with isopropyl alcohol beforehand can help improve adhesion.
Air bubbles under the tape
During installation, use a soft cloth to press the tape down firmly from the center toward the outer edges to push out trapped air.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Head Antishock Skin, first ensure your racket frame is clean, dry, and free of dirt, oil, or existing residue from old tape. Carefully peel the backing off the skin and align it starting from the center of the racket head, smoothing it down evenly toward the sides to avoid air bubbles. Press firmly along the entire surface to ensure the adhesive bonds correctly. For long-term care, inspect the edges of the tape after every few matches; if the edges begin to fray or peel, it is time to replace the skin to maintain optimal protection levels.
