The Paddle
Franklin Sports is setting a new standard in competitive pickleball with the FS Tour Series. Leading the range is the FS Tour Dynasty, the paddle of choice for Europe’s top player, Louis Laville. Designed to elevate your game, it features a thermoformed edge and seamless one-piece construction, paired with a gritty raw T700 carbon fibre face to enhance precision and confidence on court.
16mm vs 14mm
The FS Tour Dynasty is available in both 14mm and 16mm core options, each tuned to perform differently from conventional paddles of similar thickness. The 14mm offers more control and a more forgiving sweet spot than expected, while the 16mm delivers even greater stability and power thanks to its heavier overall profile.
Who's this paddle for?
Players who value faster hands and quick reactions at the net often prefer the 14mm version. Those who want more plough-through, weight behind the ball, and improved reset capability tend to favour the 16mm.
The Dynasty shape suits players looking for extended reach at the net. It’s worth noting the difference in weight: the 14mm sits in the midweight category, while the 16mm is a heavier paddle at around 8.6 oz. If you experience elbow or arm discomfort, the 14mm or the lighter 12mm featherweight option may be a better choice.
