Versatility and value in one great package.The X-1000 Paddle weighs in at 7.7 - 8.2 oz., putting it in midweight range and translating to adequate swing weight and power when called upon. It has a 5" long handle with a medium (4.25") circumference. The grip has perforations which keep sweaty palms to a minimum, while the ridges allow for comfort and a secure grasp.

Power is good. Low control
Apr 4, 2024
These parsonage a surprising amount of power but they lack control. They came free with our net and they are okay as spares. If you can learn to control these you will be ready for an advanced paddle. I’d imagine this is the sort of paddle that you would find in a recreation center. Middle of the road.

Franklin Z1000 Paddle
Mar 8, 2024
Myself and the other teachers are happy with the paddles we purchased. They are far better than normal PHYS ED paddles that we purchased for the students. The students are jealous and try to snag them from us when we aren't looking. We are hoping to buy more just like them for our classes.

No Control
Jan 18, 2023
I bought this to have extra paddles on hand for friends and family, but it would be mean to saddle a beginner with this paddle. It has a bull-in-a-china-shop feeling. Ok-ish power but absolutely zero control.
