We at Pickleball Union are super excited to announce the launch of Franklin Sports’ latest innovation: the FS Tour FEATHERWEIGHT Paddle. This new paddle is part of their popular FS Tour Paddle Series and is designed to give players the ultimate combination of speed and power.
Lightweight Comfort: 12mm polymer core for maximum comfort.
Pro-Level Specs: Retains all specifications of the original FS Tour Series in a lighter version.
Enhanced Sweet Spot: Thermoformed epoxy resin-injected unibody frame.
Superior Grip: Textured paddle grip.
Precision Control: T700 carbon fiber surface for spin & pinpoint accuracy.
Top pro JW Johnson, who credits his US Open victories to this paddle, said, “I immediately felt the combination of speed, power, and lightness when I tested the Franklin FEATHERWEIGHT for the first time. It made such an impression that I used it the very next week in winning two Gold Medals at the US Open.”
What makes this paddle a game-changer? For starters, it weighs just 7.3 to 7.6 ounces, making it incredibly lightweight and easy to maneuver. The 12MM enhanced polymer core surrounded by high-density foam ensures maximum “pop” and minimal vibration, giving you a solid yet comfortable feel with every hit.
Plus, the surface is coated with premium T700 raw carbon fiber, which not only enhances the texture but also helps put more spin on the ball for those controlled, precise shots.
We also love the thoughtful design of the elongated 5.6” cushioned handle, which offers superior comfort and control. The raised finger pad inlays help you maintain a firm, secure grip during intense gameplay.
Available in two frame shapes—Dynasty and Tempo—the FS Tour FEATHERWEIGHT allows you to choose the best fit for your playstyle. And the best part? It’s officially certified by USA Pickleball for competitive and tournament play.
We can’t wait to dive into all the details and give you a comprehensive review in the upcoming weeks. Stay tuned for our in-depth look at how this paddle can elevate your game.
Happy playing!
