Franklin Signature Carbon STR verdict
Franklin's most credible performance paddle to date. It will not win a spin shootout, but the balance and build quality are honest for the money.
ONIX Evoke Premier verdict
An underrated standard-shape all-rounder. It rewards players who make clean contact in the middle of the face and does nothing badly.
