elongated
The Franklin Sports FS Tour Dynasty Featherweight 12MM is an elongated paddle with a 12mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. The combination of core and face materials may offer a balance of power and control. Its elongated shape could provide a larger sweet spot and increased reach. Weighing 7.3 ounces, it falls into the lightweight category, generally making it easy to maneuver. The 5.6-inch grip length may be suitable for players who prefer a slightly longer grip or use a two-handed backhand. With a swing weight of 107, it is considered to have a low swing weight, further enhancing maneuverability. The paddle's spin rating is 7.7 out of 10, placing it in the 71st percentile for spin generation. Its drive speed rating is 7.5 out of 10 (75th percentile), and its volley speed rating is 5.4 out of 10 (34th percentile). The twist weight is 5.635, with a rating of 3.3 out of 10 (14th percentile), suggesting it might be less stable on off-center hits. This paddle might be suitable for players prioritizing maneuverability and spin, potentially at the expense of some power on volleys.
