This paddle is practically new. I bought it on the 14th March and used it for a max of one month before I bought another paddle and favoured the new one. I would guess I’ve used it for a max of ~25 hours of play. There’s a lot of life left in it.

I’ve been carrying this paddle around in my bag and have been meaning to put it on here for its next owner who will love it.

I’ll tell you the reasons why I sold it, but it’s all personal preference. I found the paddle a little heavy, and I prefer a longer handle. I did love the thickness of the paddle face, though!

Here’s a snippet from the AI on Google: “The Franklin FS Tour Tempo 16mm pickleball paddle is a heavier, control-oriented paddle that provides a good balance of power and spin. It is well-suited for advanced players, particularly those who enjoy playing singles or prefer a heavier paddle for baseline shots.”

The AI says suitable for advanced players but I’m not advanced and certainly wasn’t when I bought it.

I’m happy for potential buyers to play a game or two with it when we’re both attending a class.
