Verdicts
Franklin Signature 16 Composite
A fiberglass-faced elongated paddle at a rec-league price. Composite faces give up spin to carbon, but they hand back free pop that beginners actually benefit from.
ProXR Signature 13
The thin-core ProXR. Same angled handle, 13 mm core, noticeably more pop and faster hands than the 16 mm at the same price.
