Franklin Sports helps elevate the game and write the next chapter of competitive pickleball with our brand new FS Tour FEATHERWEIGHT pickleball paddles. The Featherweight series is a derivative of the original FS Tour series. These paddles maintain all the professional-level specifications but are now offered in a lighter version with a 12mm polymer core. This lightweight option is very comfortable to hold and provides maximum power for players. The Featherweight is available in Tempo and Dynasty shapes. Each FS Tour paddle is crafted with a monocoque frame in injected thermoformed epoxy resin to maximize the paddle's sweet spot and increase shot power while retaining the perfect profile of a medium-weight paddle. The textured handle of the paddle offers players a solid and comfortable grip to serve as the foundation for every shot in an athlete's arsenal. Additionally, the high-quality T700 carbon fiber surface produces a soft touch and a naturally textured surface for players to create spin and control their shots with extreme precision. All Tempo and Dynasty paddles are officially approved for competition and tournaments by the USA Pickleball (USAPA). If you're ready to take your game to the next level, grab your FS Tour pickleball paddle and hit the court!
