How long should a paddle last? Paddles themselves depend on how often and how hard you play. Some individuals like a new paddle every 3 months, others 1 year and some up to 3+ years. But as with anything, there are wear and tear components. The edge guard is a protective barrier that adds perimeter weighting (but from normal use will get scraped and eventually loosen from repeated contact with the ground) and need to be replaced. The grip is another item that over time, again depending on how often you play may need replacement. These latter points are considered wear & tear. Not a manufacturers defect.
