Franklin Sports Junior Pickleball Paddle – MaxGrit Fiberglass, Fruit Design (New)

Get Outside and Play — The Franklin Sports Junior Pickleball Paddle

The Franklin Sports Junior Pickleball Paddle is the paddle that gets kids off the couch and onto the court. Built with a MaxGrit fiberglass face and a junior-sized handle sized for smaller hands, this paddle delivers real control and real spin without the bulk of an adult frame. The bold fruit design makes it instantly recognizable in a bag, on a court, or in a kid's hands — and it is the kind of gear that makes a kid actually want to practice.

Whether you are introducing a young player to pickleball for the first time, looking for a backyard game upgrade, or shopping for a gift that actually gets used — this is it.
