How to Properly Care for Your Babolat Reflex 2022:
- Store in a racket cover. Always keep your racket in a protective cover to prevent scratches, dust buildup, and UV damage.
- Avoid high temperatures. Don’t leave it in direct sunlight or inside a hot car—excess heat can damage the EVA core and frame materials.
- Keep away from moisture. Avoid playing in the rain or storing the racket in damp environments, as moisture can weaken the structure and finish.
- Inspect regularly. Check for cracks, dents, or deformation. If you spot damage, stop using the racket to prevent injury or further wear.
- Clean gently. After use, wipe the racket with a soft, dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Replace the grip as needed. Changing the grip (e.g., Syntec Uptake) ensures a better hold and improved performance during matches.
- Avoid hitting the ground or net posts. Physical impacts can cause serious structural damage to the frame and face.
