The 8" wide face lets players make use of the oversized sweet spot. Its design reduces vibration so that you won't be thrown off your game during quick exchanges and can focus on creating opportunities.

Reviews of the Franklin Christine McGrath Paddle by Pickleball Central Staff:
"Christine McGrath’s Franklin paddle brings a little old school back to the game. The paddle is traditional in both core thickness and paddle shape. It feels like an old friend when you pick it up. The playability is predictable, which makes for a consistent paddle. The sweet spot is in the center of the paddle face and the pop from the fiberglass face gets serves and returns deep. Because of the 8 inch wide face, I also felt comfortable at the net with my blocks. The MaxGrit texture, like the Ben John’s paddle enhances spin. The overall build of this paddle makes it an all court paddle with enough forgiveness to make me feel confident with an array of shots."

Great paddle - even greater purchase experience

Like anything control and power is inversely related. the Christine McGrath sig. leans toward control so works better for finesse players.
