I love the paddle. I had a good drive and dinking experienced when I tried it. In just few games I used to handle the paddle easily..

I like it so far.

My wife loves this paddle. Very lightweight and good pop. She also is able to put a good amount of spin on the ball. Highly recommend for someone looking for a powerful, yet light paddle.

Great paddle and quality. Highly recommend.

the paddle was overall pretty good, but the handle was way too short. would need an overgrip and wrap it way above the throat to make it comfortable for a twoey but even then the handle is too short.

Edge scratches easy. Other than that, great paddle

Great paddle to use, great value for your money.

Made my game improve dramatically. Well worth every dime. Highly recommend this paddle. Lightweight and very controllable. Great for professionals as well as novice players.

Best Pickleball paddle I know out there. Can put so much spin on it and feel full control of your shots you make. Way cheaper then those $200+ expensive paddles people think must get.

Yes, great paddle, I used it a few days as it came, then added some weight to the sides.I appreciate Franklin for not putting player’s name on there paddles

Unbelievable paddle. Light and powerful

I love how lightweight yet sturdy this feels. I’m not the most insane pickleball player, but this definitely has made me a little bit better of a player. My serves and returns are much more accurate. I genuinely just like how good and sturdy this felt in the hands while in use. I’d say the value is subjective, as it’s definitely quite expensive. You definitely get something nice for your money, though.

Excellent paddle. Great control. More pop.

It’s great paddle,i very love it

I absolutely love this paddle. I fell in love with this paddle the first time I tried it. For me it’s the perfect mixture of power to control ratio. Highly recommend. I ordered this a few days before they dropped the pink and purple version. I will more than likely purchase in purple! lol

Lightweight with a lot of great power and control. Highly recommend this paddle.

I've been using a Joola Pro 4 perseus 14mm for a while, but managed to break 2 of them in only 1 month each. The early c45s seemed to have no grit, but these now have a ton of grit. This paddle might not hit as hard as the joola, but i would still say it is a power paddle. No issues putting shape/spin on the ball, putting the ball away, dinking/control, etc. This is definitely one of the best well rounded - do everything - paddle. They come in decently lightweight, mine was around 7.85oz. which leaves room to add weight if you wish, but out of the box it is already completely playable.

Very good quality paddle. The spin is upper echelon. The control is nice for a power paddle. I like that it’s an elongated with 7.6” width. The handle length is perfect for me as I hit primarily one handed backhand drives but still can fit two on the handle. I recommend adding 0.5g/inch tungsten tape to help better the feel and increase stability.
