Sweet Spot Training

Great training tool that plays like a Gen 1 paddle. The sweet spot is dead on compared to a typical paddle (I use the Joola TA Mod). I'm a 5.0 player and my friends and I use these paddles to play against each other to make it more challenging and it's harder to put the ball away like it used to be without the thermoformed or Gen 3 paddles of today.It weighs 8 oz and has a carbon fiber surface so it feels like a typical paddle and can get just as much spin. It has more flexibility than I'd personally like on hard drives, but it's easy to adjust to. Great paddle to have some fun with. I'd definitely recommend this paddle.

Great little paddle for the price. We play our first game with these and you have wrinkles in your forehead trying to focus on the "sweet spot" Then grab your real paddle and wail away! A nice little training/drilling tool.

We have so many laughs practicing with this paddle. Easy to hit the sweet spot but deceiving because not the same pop as ball comes off paddle. Great for experienced players or just for fun!

Fun little paddle to try out. I learned that my backhands need some work!Paddle face was a little scratched when it arrived, but for a $25 throwaway paddle I didn't care that much.

For those who want to level up their game, I highly recommend this training paddle. I’ve used it to practice and now I am consistently hitting the sweet spot when I play on the court. For those have a two handed backhand, the grip is long enough for you to use. It’ll be tough at first but it does help you improve your game

This helped my soft game considerably by having to take it slow

Good quality. Fun to play/train with.

The whole paddle is a sweet spot. It is teaching me to keep my eye one the ball until it hits the paddle.

I love this paddle. I use it as my main paddle. It has good power and spin.

Got this for my husband and he loves it!

I have 2 so when I practice my partner has one. I even play games with them to work on concentration during playing

What an odd paddle though very effective after drilling with it for a while....wish it made a satisfying noise ! Haha !

At first, I thought this was just a gimmick, but it really sharpens your game. The smaller sweet spot forces you to focus and hit cleaner. After switching back to my regular paddle, I noticed a huge improvement in control and consistency. Great for warm-ups or drilling. If you’re serious about leveling up your shots, this little paddle is worth it.

A real paddle. Love it

Good quality, I use it together with my feeder machine which is slow so I could focus on the ball. I'm not sure if I could use this for game... too many stories that it got broken into half hence... will be sticking to drills or dinking.

Got it for Secret Santa and they loved it

Bought for warm-ups and drills.This trainer is about the same weight as my Engage paddle and the sweet spot is about the same distance from my hand, as advertised. I was able to apply a standard overgrip, even though the grip is longer than my regular paddle grip. I also wanted to protect the edge; a half length of carbon fiber edge tape was perfect, so I have a replacement ready to go, too.Many people have asked to try my trainer on the courts and express surprise at how much it helps in focusing on actively using the sweet spot and getting our feet to the right place to meet the ball.I feel like an unofficial Franklin ambassador at my local courts.

I love this Franklin sweet spot trainer! It really makes you concentrate on watching the ball to the face of the paddle. It’s so small it’s kind of hard to play with, but it serves its purpose. Feels just like a full size paddle. It has definitely help me hit the sweet spot on my full size paddle!

I was very skeptical at first with such a small paddle. After practicing with this paddle, my thoughts are only positive. It definitely forces you to focus on a small area to make contact with the ball. Aim small, miss small is a term used for competitive target shooters but can also fit the same thinking when playing pickleball. My eyes tend to focus better & can make a more precisely placed shot. I definitely feel that this paddle will only add to your training routine.
