Tour Tempo
Widebody16mmGen-2Thermoformed
The Franklin Tour Tempo is a 16 mm widebody pickleball paddle with a thermoformed, T700 Carbon Fiber face. It generates below-average spin (36th percentile) with average power and below-average 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.
