[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This review is for a 16MM Franklin Pickleball Paddle. it is a Max Grit. It's lightweight and the grip on the paddle is comfortable. I love that it is USA Pickleball approved. The print on this one is very patriotic with the Red, White, & Blue. I am 5 feet 2 inches tall and I attached pictures of me holding it to show the actual size. The paddle was packaged nicely in store I received an incentive to write this review.

My wife and I were given a pair of Signature paddles (and a set of basic paddles). We took the pickle-ball classes in October and then we switched over to the Signature when we went for open play in November. The grip is a little small for me, but wearing a glove helps take up most of the slack. The sweet spot is much larger on this than the original paddles. It doesn't hit quite as hard as the beginners, but it adds more control and a bigger sweet spot. A good tradeoff in my mind. I'm probably a 3.0+ and I haven't even found hints of it's limits.
