What Our Paddle Lab
Experts Say
The Franklin FS Tour Dynasty 12 Carbon Fiber Paddle delivers a peak exit velocity of 38.48 MPH, providing a solid, responsive feel with controlled power on contact. Its balance point of 9.65 inches gives the paddle a distinctly head-heavy design, allowing players to generate impressive momentum and drive through each swing. Combined with a swing weight of 854.39 oz·in², the Dynasty 12 feels substantial in motion—ideal for hard-hitting players who can confidently swing heavier paddles throughout long matches. A twist weight of 26.4 oz·in² contributes to stability on off-center contact, keeping the paddle face square and limiting deflection, while a consistency rating of 3.63 standard deviation ensures reliable response across the paddle face for repeatable, accurate strokes. The spin rate of 973.17 RPM provides enough grip to shape and control shots effectively. Overall, the FS Tour Dynasty 12 is built for players who thrive on power and stability, but its heavier swing profile may be demanding for those managing shoulder or wrist discomfort.

About the Brand
Franklin Sports got its start in 1946 as a regional brand of sporting goods products. Irving H. Franklin, who co-founded Franklin Sports with his brother Sydney Franklin, brought the innovative idea of centering a complete line of products on a single athlete - Joe Namath. Over the years Franklin has affiliated with the best in sports, including world-class athletes like Sugar Ray Leonard, David Robinson, and Barry Bonds.
The breakthrough for Franklin and the batting gloves came when Phillies Hall of Fame third baseman Mike Schmidt and Irving Franklin teamed up to create the basic design that is still the preferred glove of most major league hitters. Irving Franklin went to Clearwater, Florida, to meet with Schmidt during spring training in 1983. Together, they worked tirelessly to make sure that the materials and design were perfected, so collaboratively the two were the first authors. At that time, most players wore no gloves. A few wore a single golf style glove, but no company offered a product specifically designed for the needs of professional players. Franklin today is the industry leader as the premier batting glove company, and custom fits batting glove for MLB players.
In 1982, when Franklin signed Mike Schmidt, Irving Franklin asked: "How can I get the name Franklin on field at the Major League level?" Schmidt suggested putting the name on the back to maximize exposure, and then helped to design the glove for lasting success at the major league level.
