Product & Performance
It’s not just a paddle, it’s a system. Our patented DadGummies™ weight system lets you fine-tune balance, feel, and performance in a way no other paddle can. Most brands add weight to the outside. We built it in.
DadGummies are removable weighted inserts that fit into integrated channels in your paddle. They let you customize swing weight, stability, and control—without messing with tape or aftermarket hacks.
Because small changes = big feel differences.
Add weight for more power and stability. Remove it for faster hands and control. You can dial in your paddle to match your play style.
Nope. Beginners benefit just as much—maybe more.
You don’t need to “upgrade paddles” as you improve. You can adjust this one as your game evolves.
Start neutral. Then adjust based on feel:
- Want more power → add weight
- Want faster hands → remove weight
- Want more control → balance both sides
(We’ll also be adding setup guides soon.)
No. They’re designed to stay locked in during play but still be easy to swap when you want to adjust.
Yes, it meets USAP standards for tournament play.
Quality & Build
We use high-performance materials designed for durability, feel, and consistency, built to compete with top-tier paddles.
They’re built to last. You can swap them in and out regularly without worrying about wear under normal use.
Not at all. The system is designed for repeat use. Adjust away. In fact, that is the primary difference in DadGummies™ and other paddle weight systems. Re-usable and adjustable on-the-fly (no tools or tape required).
ORDERS & SHIPPING

RETURNS, WARRANTY & SUPPORT

Yes. We stand behind our paddles. If there’s a defect in materials or workmanship, we’ll make it right.
Head to our Returns/Warranty page or contact us—we’ll walk you through it.
In some cases, yes. In others, we may just need photos. We’ll let you know.
BRAND & COMMUNITY
Because we don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we take how we play seriously.
It’s competitive, but it’s still fun. That’s the whole point. "Dad Gum" is one of those fun Americana phrases that can express both awe and frustration at the same time. To us it's those times when you hit an ace on your buddy at court and he says "Dad Gum! Nice Shot!"
Not even close.
“DadGum” is a mindset. It is a brand built for anyone... serious everyday competitors at all levels who compete hard, have fun, and care as much about the relationships they're building as winning the match.
They’re designed to be both functional and social. Something no other paddle can say. Customize them. Collect new styles as they are released. Trade them with your friends. Make your paddle yours. It’s part of the culture we’re building. More than a paddle... a community.
Yes, and we’re just getting started. Stay tuned for future updates on how to get involved.
USAGE & CARE
They’re designed to be simple and flexible. Just loop one end of the DadGummie onto one of the hooks integrated into the side of your paddle, stretch to hook the second loop to secure it into the channel. No tools or tape needed.
As often as you want. Some players tweak before every match. Others find their setup and stick with it.
- Keep it dry
- Avoid extreme heat
- Don’t leave it in your car
- Treat it like performance equipment (because it is)
MERCH & EXTRAS
Yes. We offer apparel, extras, and more. New items will be rolling out often, so keep an eye on the shop.
Yes. This is just the beginning. Be on the lookout for new styles, colors and even special edition DadGummies™ that you won't want to miss.
