Great paddle, mine was new and came un usedLove how absorbs hit - can really get power - good grip - a little longer handle

This paddle is a great choice for intermediate players looking to up their game. It delivers impressive power, a well-defined sweet spot, and excellent control, making it easy to improve your performance on the court. Whether you're focusing on power shots or precision, this paddle has you covered.

I have only been playing pickle ball for a few months so I am far from an expert, but I have tried quite a few paddles, and this one was as good or better than many of the more expensive ones. I like the handle, it is longer so you can more easily hit two-hand shots if you like. The grip is also well done.

I use it all the time

I’ve used every paddle from every brand basically. Selkirk Labs, Selkirk, Joola Gen3, Engage, Paddletek, etc. for the price of this paddle, with the extra goodies you get, this thing is straight gas. Perfect amount of control and power. People giggle when they see a Franklin paddle but they stop giggling quick when they get pickled. Durability has been good.Only thing about this paddle is its head heavy so if you’re sensitive to that type of thing you might wanna look at their other shape.

I’ve tried a lot of Paddles and this one is by far the best - It’s great for every aspect of the game - it gave me so much more control than anything I’ve used - I will be using Franklin paddles from now one - the thing I like most is most of the weight is by the handle of and it’s the first paddle that I didn’t regrip or put weights - it’s perfect right out of the wrapper

All the paddle reviewers say this paddle is heavy and I've never seen one of these in the wild. I noticed that JW Johnson uses this paddle and he is considered to have the fastest hands in pro pickleball. So when this paddle went on sale I wanted to try it - if JW can have the fastest hands in pickleball while using this 'heavy' paddle then I figured maybe the reviewers were missing something with this paddle. IMO hand speed is as much about setting up the point and anticipation as it is raw paddle speed. After a few sessions I have gotten used to the weight and come to really like this paddle. The added weight makes this paddle very stable - I feel very confident handling hard drives with this paddle. I wouldn't say this paddle has a lot of pop. Spin and power are good. I would say the strength of this paddle is it's stability and forgiveness. If you're not afraid of a heavier paddle and don't want to spend $250 or more on a paddle that won't last I'd recommend trying this paddle.

Too much pop

I owned 2 other 16mm paddle and have wanted to try a 14mm. Saw this on sale during 9/9 sale! Grab it and never regretting getting it. I was also told that it is difficult to control an elongated paddle as I’m only 5 months old into playing pickleball. But after trying this 14mm elongated paddle… this has became my favourite go to paddle compared to my the other more expensive 16mm hybrid paddle.
