Franklin Carbon STK 17mm Pickleball Paddle – Black

Enhance your pickleball performance with the Franklin Sports Signature Carbon STK™ 17mm Pickleball Paddle, a USA Pickleball (USAPA) approved paddle that delivers the perfect combination of power, precision, and durability. Whether you’re an intermediate player looking to elevate your game or a seasoned competitor in search of an edge, the Carbon STK™ series offers cutting-edge technology designed for peak performance on the court. Featuring a unique carbon fiber surface and a sturdy yet lightweight construction, this paddle is built to stand out from the competition.

At the core of the Carbon STK™ paddle is its one-piece polypropylene core, known for its excellent durability and balanced performance. The honeycomb design of the core provides superior strength while maintaining a lightweight feel. This balance is essential for players who require both speed and power in their game. Weighing in at a light but sturdy range, the paddle allows players to move swiftly across the court and react quickly to fast-paced shots, all while generating enough power to hit strong drives and smashes. The polypropylene core is built to withstand rigorous play, ensuring that the paddle retains its responsiveness and structural integrity over time.

What truly sets the Franklin Carbon STK™ Pickleball Paddle apart from other paddles on the market is its innovative Carbon STK™ carbon fiber surface layer. Carbon fiber is prized for its strength-to-weight ratio, and in this paddle, it serves a dual purpose: adding power while also enhancing control. The natural texture of the carbon fiber surface creates increased friction when contacting the ball, making it easier for players to apply spin. This added grip enables players to perform finesse shots, such as topspin, backspin, and slices, with precision and accuracy. Whether you’re aiming for sharp angles or soft touch shots, the Carbon STK™ surface ensures that you have the control needed to execute advanced strategies on the court.
