First Impressions

When first picking up the Ben Johns 13mm paddle from Franklin you feel the weight in the paddle even though the weigh is between 7.5-8oz. The reason is the balance is more head heavy to mid than a lot of the paddles on the market. Very solid and stable feeling. If you use a two handed grip the longer handle helps make space for that second hand. The MaxGrit texture on the paddle face is very grippy and aggressive to enhance spin. **OVERALL - a great paddle for someone looking for a more head heavy feel and that provides a stable powerful paddle.
