Franklin Sports Graphite Pickleball Paddle

Bought a Dagger and does not feel like graphite. The handle broke and it was only used a dozen times. Had it over a year but did not use it as it has no power

The paddle was very heavy and the grip was too large. None of this information was listed on the web site.

The Franklin Sports Graphite Pickleball Paddle goes great with the Franklin Sports X-40 Performance Outdoor Pickleballs. The graphite model is the premium pickleball paddle out of the ones that Franklin Sports produces, and the quality shows. The paddle handle has a rubber surround and a light structure. If you haven't heard of Pickleball, you are not alone. I hadn't heard of it before playing this and I am won over – it's super fun! It's similar to tennis and I recommend trying it! I received this product at a discounted price in return for my unbiased review.

Awesome paddle. This was my first time to play the sport so I don't have much to compare it to. The paddle itself is sturdy but very light in weight. The look is nice and it seemed to play well for me. As a beginner this paddle is a safe bet to get a feel for the sport. It's like any sport it's not worth the expensive equipment until you really get a handle for it. I received this product at a discounted price in return for my unbiased review.

So I heard about pickleball from a friend and have really wanted to try it with my kids and husband. We went out to the tennis court and had a blast! We were all laughing the whole time. We all need to practice a little to get better, but it is so fun! I got 4 different paddles so that we could each see what worked best for us. I liked how light this paddle was. The rubber grip felt nice in my hand and kept it from slipping around. There was a small issue where the rubber was pulled up in one area but my husband easily fixed it. I think this paddle is great for beginners and the price is good for the quality that you get. You really can't go wrong with Franklin products, they are my go to for sports equipment because of their quality. I highly recommend!!
