Who is the Franklin Sports Signature Series Pro USAPA Pickleball Paddle 13mm elongated for?
The listing does not state a weight, so check the product page or weigh it on arrival if weight matters to you.
The thin 13 mm core plays fast and powerful, better for drivers than for players who live on soft shots.
The elongated shape adds reach and swing weight for serves and drives; the sweet spot is narrower than on a standard or widebody paddle.
A fiberglass face tends to feel poppy and lively, with less natural bite for spin than raw carbon.
