Buy the Franklin Signature if spin generation matters most, otherwise JOOLA's Premium range offers more options.
Two premium paddles aimed at competitive players. The Franklin Signature at £140-160 features MaxGrit texture on a carbon face, polypropylene honeycomb core, elongated shape, 215-225g, 16mm thick. The JOOLA Premium at £150-200 is JOOLA's flagship range.
What to weigh:
If spin is your priority and you play with consistent technique, the Franklin Signature's MaxGrit surface is the right call at £140-160. If you want JOOLA's wider feature set and don't mind paying up to £200, their premium paddle range gives more variety. For most competitive UK players, the Franklin's spin tech wins.
