Specs checked against Franklin's official product page on Oct 20, 2026. Franklin publishes 7.6-8.0 oz for the 16mm; we store the midpoint. Franklin calls the shape elongated; at 16.4 x 7.6 in it sits in our hybrid band. Approved by USA Pickleball and UPA-A. Franklin's own store currently offers only the 14mm. Manufacturers change specs and prices; the brand page is the source of truth.
