FEATURES Technology & construction

MaxGrit Textured Surface

Franklin’s MaxGrit surface coating creates a high-friction texture on the paddle face, increasing traction on the ball to generate more spin on serves, dinks, and drives. USA Pickleball approved.

13mm Polypropylene Core

The 13mm poly core provides a solid, durable base with a large sweet spot across the center of the paddle face — delivering consistent, dependable contact and reducing mishits on off-center shots.

Fiberglass Face

The fiberglass surface layer adds control and touch to complement the poly core, providing a responsive feel on dinks and drops while still offering enough pop for drives and overhead shots.

Vibration Reduction

The MaxGrit surface and polypropylene core work together to dampen vibration on contact, reducing arm fatigue during extended play sessions and providing a more comfortable feel on hard-hit shots.

EdgeSentry™ Edge Guard

The EdgeSentry™ guard wraps the perimeter of the paddle to protect against chipping and cracking when the paddle contacts the court surface, net post, or other hard objects during play.

USA Pickleball Certified

The Aspen Kern Centre is approved by USA Pickleball for competitive and tournament play, making it a legal option for sanctioned recreational leagues and official tournament events.

Pro-Designed by Aspen Kern

Developed in collaboration with professional pickleball player Aspen Kern, the Centre reflects input from competitive play at the highest level — particularly around spin generation and control at the kitchen line.

PLAYER FIT Who is this paddle for?

The MaxGrit surface rewards players who rely on spin serves, slice dinks, and angled drops, while the 13mm poly core provides the consistency needed for extended rallies. Its USA Pickleball certification makes it suitable for competitive league and tournament play.
