Franklin Sports Signature Series 13mm Fiberglass Pickleball Paddle

We love a paddle that feels fast through the air and rewards clean, confident strokes, just like the Franklin Sports Signature Series 13mm Pickleball Paddle. The thinner of this family of affordable-yet-feature-packed paddles boasts a 13mm core that gives it that crisp, responsive pop that players crave for fast hands and quick exchanges at the kitchen. Franklin’s MaxGrit fiberglass surface then adds bite and touch, grabbing the ball for controlled spin on dinks and resets while reducing vibration on contact. It’s lightweight enough for quick reactions, yet strong enough to put away drives with authority.

Compared to the 16mm version, the Franklin Signature 13mm build leans into maneuverability and raw feedback, perfect for players who like to take charge at the net and keep rallies in their hands.

• 13mm Polypropylene Core: Delivers a blend of touch and speed ideal for players who like a faster paddle face.
