  • Game improved with this paddle
Size: 13mm Color: Pro Player - White
My pickle ball improved after I started using this paddle. Nice weight, nice grip, sanded finish. Good quality, good price

  • I like it.
Size: 16mm Color: Pro Player - White
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. USA Pickeball approved
Size: 16mm Color: Navy
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.

  • Solid starter paddle
Size: 16mm Color: Pro Player - White
I used this paddle for a while now. Had a pretty small sweet spot and not enough control for me. Was not bad at first, but as I have played more I want something with more grit on the face

  • Excellent paddle for a fair price
Size: 16mm Color: Lilac
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. ... show more

It is a great paddle for me to get started on pickleball

  • Great Grip!
Size: 13mm Color: Pro Player - White
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. ... show more

  • Average Durability Paddle
Size: 16mm Color: Pro Player - White
I initially had high hopes for the Franklin Sports Pro Pickleball Paddle with MaxGrit Surface. Out of the box, it felt great – good balance, a comfortable grip, and the MaxGrit surface provided excellent spin control, which was a real asset to my game. For the first couple of months, it performed admirably, and I was genuinely pleased with my purchase. However, after approximately five months of what I would consider very moderate use (playing 1-2 times a week, mostly recreational games, and always storing it properly), the paddle's performance significantly declined. The most noticeable issue was the MaxGrit surface wearing thin. What was once a grippy, spin-generating surface became smooth, and my ability to put spin on the ball diminished considerably. This alone was a major disappointment, as the grit was a key selling point for me. Compounding this, the paddle itself started to feel "hollow" after some time. It lost its initial solid feel. Despite making what felt like good, centered contact with the ball, the paddle simply did not deliver the power it once did. Shots that previously had good pace now felt sluggish and lacked depth. It felt as though the internal structure or core of the paddle had degraded, resulting in a significant loss of responsiveness and pop. Ultimately, the paddle became unreliable for competitive play and even less satisfying for casual games. Given the relatively short lifespan for very moderate use, I was forced to change paddles after just five months. While the initial experience was positive, the rapid degradation of the MaxGrit surface and the subsequent loss of power and feel make it difficult to recommend the Franklin Sports Pro Pickleball Paddle - Signature Series for anyone looking for lasting performance. For its price point, I expected much greater durability ... show more
