Franklin FS Tour Tempo Pickleball Paddle

This paddle is built for players who prioritize control and precision. Its construction and materials are tailored to help you place shots accurately and generate spin, making it a strong choice for intermediate to advanced players looking to refine their game.

Foam-injected edges serve two main purposes: they increase the paddle's overall stability and expand the sweet spot. This means you will experience more consistency and less vibration, even when you don't hit the ball perfectly in the center.

At 8.2 to 8.5 ounces, this paddle falls into the mid-weight category. It offers a good balance between maneuverability at the net and the mass needed to drive the ball with power from the baseline.

Yes, it significantly improves durability and structural integrity. By eliminating the weak points found in multi-piece paddles, this construction method ensures the paddle feels solid and performs consistently over a longer period.
