Tour Tempo
Widebody12mmGen-2Thermoformed
The Franklin Tour Tempo is a 12 mm widebody pickleball paddle with a thermoformed, T700 Carbon Fiber face. It generates elite spin (82th percentile) with low power and above-average pop. It has a light, maneuverable swing weight built for quick hands at the net, but below-average twist weight, so off-center hits lose more pace. Overall it's a control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
