Purchased Spartus paddles are backed by a 180 day warranty against manufacturer's defects from delivery date (the P1 has a 1 year warranty). Warranties are only valid to the original purchaser and not transferable. The warranty does not apply to any replacement paddles.

This warranty is VOID for the following conditions:

  • Normal wear and tear (e.g., grip wearing out, scratches, worn edgeguard, graphics fading, chip damage, grit wearing out, etc.)
  • Damaged through improper usage (e.g., striking the ground, other paddles, or anything other than a pickleball)
  • Negligence, acts of nature, or accident
  • Grit variation
  • Modifications or repairs made to your paddle (including Slyce Caps)
  • Purchases from unauthorized dealers
  • Individuals who aren't the original purchaser
  • Usage in commercial applications or rentals
  • Lack of proof of purchase
  • Final sale items, giveaways, used items, demo units, factory seconds, or items otherwise marked in the product description as ineligible for warranty

If the covered product has been discontinued and is no longer available, Spartus reserves the right to replace it with a comparable model of equal or greater value, or provide store credit up to the original purchase price.

Permagrit information and warranty

PermaGrit is our patent-pending grit technology that is applied to our premier paddles such as the P1. PermaGrit is made of ceramic hybrids impacting increased durability and increased spin compared to normal paddles which use peel ply epoxy for grit.

Because of the way PermaGrit is manufactured and applied, please be aware that any of the below and similar is normal and not a warranty item. The examples shown below are from brand new P1 units with PermaGrit fresh off the production line. Many paddles with PermaGrit have no markings of this type but some will:

Additionally, because PermaGrit does not chip off and break off at the rate that normal grit does, if you play on courts with debris or residue, you may experience small scratches over time. This is from the ball picking up debris from the courts and scratching against PermaGrit. This is a wear and tear item and not a warranty item:
