The SLYCE 28g SpeedCap replaces your stock butt cap with a machined 6061 aluminum counterweight. It shifts balance toward the handle for more swing speed and head stability. Code PRH saves 10% at slycesport.com/PRH; confirm fit for your paddle model before ordering.
The Verdict
Fixed 28g butt-cap weight for faster swings without lead tape
If your paddle feels head-heavy or you want more handle counterbalance without guessing with tape, the SpeedCap is the cleanest upgrade we have tested.
We recommend the 28g universal SpeedCap for players who want a permanent, repeatable weight mod. Pair with SpeedCoins first if you are unsure how much handle weight you like. Use PRH for 10% off.
Why butt-cap weight matters
Adding mass at the handle changes swing weight without bloating the paddle face. That is the same physics reason pros chase balanced builds — you get acceleration through the wrist and forearm with a steadier head at the kitchen.
SpeedCap vs tape vs SLYDRS
Lead tape is cheap but fiddly and ugly. SLYDRS clamp on the edge for face-side tuning. The SpeedCap is the set-it-and-forget handle solution SLYCE built their brand on — best when you already know you want roughly an ounce at the butt.
