Summary

The Franklin Sports FS Tour Dynasty 14MM is an elongated paddle with a 14mm 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. Weighing 8.2 oz with a 5.6-inch grip, it may suit players who prefer a slightly longer grip for two-handed backhands. The swing weight of 124 is considered high and may provide more power, but could also be less maneuverable for some. The paddle's spin rating is 8.0 out of 10, placing it in the 84th percentile for spin generation. Its drive speed rating is 7.1, falling into the 61st percentile for power. The twist weight of 6.5 may contribute to stability on off-center hits. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of power and control.
