How to mark your paddle and prevent it from being stolen at the pickleball park 

Great tips! People are always trying to steal my paddle they see it hitting some many winners 😅

I wud recommend putting your initials and phone number and NEVER leaving in some random boxes. Keep your paddle in your case or in your hand. Especially one that is super expensive!

I switch between a gearbox cx11e or a cx14e, if someone’s trying to steal either of these paddles in 2023/2024, I got many questions.

That will help prevent your paddle from accidentally being taken by someone with the "same" paddle, yes.

My paddle was "accidentally" taken by a lady from the paddle rack line-up. I just purchased the paddle two weeks earlier and was in complete panic over it. I didn't have my name on the paddle, and no way to prove it was mine. After asking several people about my paddle, someone pointed out the lady who had it. When I confronted her, she said that she thought someone had left it behind, which made zero sense. My paddle now has my name on it.

I just put my initials on my paddle with a felt-tipped magic marker.

Marking a paddle does not prevent it from being stolen.
