Already making a difference — Pros: This training paddle really helps you focus on how you take your shots and the overall positioning of the paddle. Whether it be in the ready position, or as you swing. Personally, I think the paddle has the perfect dimensions for training purposes. Once you have your swing dialed in you can get good topspin and backspin from the paddle as well. Highly recommend it, and if you use it in an actual game you will have a lot of fun and laughs with it. — Cons: I only have two issues with the paddle. The first is the construction of the handle. The two sides of the handle feel hollow and aren't as comfortable as most modern pickleball paddles. The second "con" is more of a personal preference thing. These paddles are lighter than normal paddles, and much lighter than mine. At first, I was having a lot of issues switching between this and then going to my regular paddle for games. I ended up adding a lot of lead tape to the paddle, which has been holding up well on the edge guard, but since the paddle head is so high it makes the paddle head heavier than the balance I have with my paddle. Not a huge deal, but something to maybe make note of since adding the weight to the head makes drops a lot more difficult.
A bit of luxury, but works great — Pros: Great for dinking in the basement. For a tiny paddle, feels a lot like a normal paddle in the hand. I used to struggle with overhead slams, practiced with this and now they aren't a problem for me. For that reason alone, it was worth the purchase. Ended up buying a second so my partner and I could practice with them together. — Cons: Realistically, you can't play a game with this, not unless you buy 4 of them. So it's a training luxury. I've seen people say you could whip this out at the park against worse players to make it interesting for yourself, and in a vacuum you could, but it's clearly miniature. I can't imagine doing that to a stranger in real life.
Great Training Aid that's Very Practical — Pros: Can see instant results after only 1 practice session. Very comfortable grip. Swing weight and "feel" mimics that of a full size paddle. Has definitely assisted me with my control and technique. Can actually play real pickleball with it. — Cons: Would have been nice if an option for a cover was available. Maybe adding a couple different color options.
Good Training Paddle — Pros: The size of the paddle face makes me have to watch the ball hit the paddle every time, otherwise I mis hit the ball on the edges of the paddle or miss the ball entirely. — Cons: I wish that this training paddle came in a standard length (15-3/4”) and an elongated length (16-1/2”). You can customize the training paddle with lead tape to customize it to the weight of paddle that you are using.
Franklin sweet spot paddle — Pros: Nice training tool
Long handle
Great for two handed backhand
Make you watch the ball and focus on point of contact
Very powerful
Surprisingly produced very good top and under spin
Feels easier on wrist and elbow, since only sweet spot available to hit the ball — Cons: None
Supportive tool for new pickleballers: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not an avid Pickleball player, so this training paddle felt like it would be a great match. The paddle feels like it is great quality, where it is light weight and agile. Having tried this out, I am not sure it helps me any more than a typical paddle, but I would recommend for very new or beginner players.

Great!: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pickle all is all the rage right now, so this was a great product. It’s made well and I can easily take it places. I’m a teacher, so I figured this would be a fun add to my recess bucket for the kids the play with. It’s a “training” paddle, so it’s smaller than a regular pickleball paddle, but it gets the job done.

Lightweight and easy to handle: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found this paddle to be easy to handle. It’s pretty lightweight yet durable. The handle allowed me to keep a pretty good grip. It didn’t make my hands hurt as with some other paddles I’ve used. No issues.

Compact: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I hadn’t owned a pickleball paddle of my own and I’m still training so I chose this one. I love it, the handle is perfect and I even let my kids borrow it. It’s compact enough to travel with also! Definitely recommend especially if you’re just starting to get the hang of the game.

Game-Changer for Serious Players: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Sweet Spot Training Paddle by Franklin Sports is exactly what I didn’t know I needed! At 16mm thick with a longer handle than a standard paddle and a much smaller head, it’s definitely a challenge to use at first — but that’s the whole point. The reduced surface area forces you to really focus on precision and control, and while it’s tough at the start, the improvement in my game has been incredible.
