Awesome paddle.!

My pickle ball improved after I started using this paddle. Nice weight, nice grip, sanded finish. Good quality, good price

So this is a decent midrange pickleball paddle. I got quality play from it for four months. Surface bounce was consistent and it had a decent feel to it. It was a better paddle than the cheap Selkirk I learned on. I play 4-5 times a week so it lasted about sixty play sessions. The. On a relatively ordinary shot the handle snapped. It’s about a month outside the 90 day warranty. The “max” grit lasted less than half the sixty play sessions. At this points it’s smooth. Would I buy another one? Well I will contact Franklin and if they replace it and the replacement lasts longer…maybe. If they don’t or it doesn’t then no I would not. Update: Franklin replaced my broken paddle. The replacement has lasted 5 months. The “max grit” is now smooth as silk otherwise the paddle is performing well.

This is an excellent upgrade paddle for beginners. The paddle face has a slight grit, so it provides a nice surface to allow for spin on balls. The grip is firm, but soft, so it absorbs the impact from the paddle. It doesn't get slippery when you've been sweating either, which is a huge plus. Definitely a great next step paddle for a beginner to intermediate pickleball player.

I'm new to pickleball and I only play once a week with some buddies, but I like this paddle! I think it is a great quality especially for the price I paid. Pretty easy to put spin on the ball and the handle is comfortable in my hand.

Great paddle. I got both sizes. I prefer this thicker (16) version, as it feels more well constructed. It is heavier and has a thicker handle than the thinner one (13) which is fine by me.

The grip is very good, it has a nice tacky feeling without being sticky. The grip is thick enough you can squeeze while still being comfortable. My grip came with a small defect but it was tiny so I didn't worry. But if it is an issue I just recommend getting an over grip. The paddle is very light and I like that about it. The paddle has a very gritty surface which helps with adding spin. Overall I highly recommend getting this paddle for casual players, players, and anyone who's not at a pro level.

I used this paddle probably past what I should have. It lasted a long time and still works decently even though I have been told it has a dead spot. Coming from a tennis background, I love the long neck and paddle shape. I would buy it again.
