Franklin
FS Tour Tempo (16mm)
Widebody16mmGen 2
The Franklin FS Tour Tempo (16mm) is a 16 mm widebody pickleball paddle. It generates low spin (14th percentile) with below-average power and low pop. It has a heavier, head-leaning swing weight that favors power and plow-through over hand speed, plus elite twist weight for strong off-center forgiveness. Overall it's a control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
