Design: The Franklin Sports Signature Series Pro Pickleball Paddles come in a wide range of different colours, from black and gold to lilac, pink and blue. The paddles have vibrant visual designs and are suitable for players of all levels.

Power: The power on the 16mm version that our playtesters tried out came with a decent amount of power. Thicker paddle such as this one tend to pack more of a punch as well as absorb shock from incoming balls.

Control: With a thicker paddle some of our playtesters found the response and feel of the paddle to be a little muted or dampened. However, they found there was still a decent amount of control with the paddle once they got used to playing with it.

Price: The Franklin Sports Signature  Series pickleball paddles are available on Amazon for around 111 USD. This puts them in the mid to low price range for pickleball paddles. The quality and variety of different designs make this a great value choice for beginner and intermediate players.
