Tour Tempo
Widebody14mmGen-2Thermoformed
The Franklin Tour Tempo is a 14 mm widebody pickleball paddle with a thermoformed, T700 Carbon Fiber face. It generates well above-average spin (70th percentile) with low power and average pop. It has a mid-range swing weight that balances power and maneuverability, plus elite twist weight for strong off-center forgiveness. Overall it's a control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
