Why this paddle fits her game
Todd plays an aggressive, athletic style with plenty of pace and spin. A signature paddle on Franklin’s carbon platform is built around exactly those traits — grip on the ball for spin, and pop for driving through it — which is why it carries her name.
Should you use her paddle?
A spin-and-pace signature paddle rewards players who already generate their own topspin and want more bite. If your soft game is still developing, a more forgiving control paddle may serve you better first. Our best paddles guide helps you choose, and our full pro paddle list shows who plays what.
