Abstract
The present disclosure provides for a face sheet for resurfacing a pickleball paddle. The face sheet includes a backing having a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface, where the first major surface and the second major surface include a patterned texture on at least a portion of the first major surface to provide grip against a surface of a pickleball being struck by the pickleball paddle having the face sheet. The face sheet can further include an adhesive material on at least a portion of the second major surface of the backing, where the adhesive material helps to secure the face sheet to the pickleball paddle.

A face sheet for resurfacing a pickleball paddle, the face sheet comprising:
- a backing having a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface, wherein the first major surface and the second major surface include:
- a first major edge having a first major linear portion extending between a first end and a second end, a first convex corner extending from the first end, a second convex corner extending from the second end, a first concave corner extending from the second convex corner and a first minor edge portion extending from the second convex corner away from both the first end and the second end of the first major linear portion;
- a second major edge having a second major linear portion extending between a third end and a fourth end, a third convex corner extending from the third end, a fourth convex corner extending from the fourth end, a second concave corner extending from the fourth convex corner and a second minor edge portion extending from the fourth convex corner away from both the third end and the fourth end of the second major linear portion;
- a third major edge having a third major linear portion extending between the first convex corner of the first major edge and the third convex corner of the second major edge;
- a first minor edge extending between the first minor edge portion and the second minor edge portion;
- a first tab extending from the first minor edge portion of the first major edge;
- and
- a second tab extending from the second minor edge portion of the second major edge;
- and
- a patterned texture on at least a portion of the first major surface to provide grip against a surface of a pickleball being struck by the pickleball paddle having the face sheet.
