Source: pickleballcentral.com (verified 2026-08-01). PickleballCentral's live product page for the Franklin Sports Signature Pro Series 16mm (fetched directly) gives an average weight of 8.1oz (7.9-8.3oz range), 16.5in length, 7.5in width, a 16mm (0.629in) polypropylene-honeycomb core, a MaxGrit-coated fiberglass face, a 5.6in handle with 4.5in (Large) grip circumference, 'USAP Approved' status for tournament play, and a $99.99 price. A general web search of Franklin's own product copy independently corroborates the 16.5in x 7.5in dimensions, 5.6in handle, 4.25in-quoted grip circumference (a minor variance from PickleballCentral's 4.5in, both retained as reported by their respective sources — PickleballCentral's figure is used since it is the directly-fetched primary source), the 13mm/16mm dual-thickness option, and MaxGrit fiberglass construction; franklinsports.com itself returned HTTP 403 on direct fetch and could not be used as the primary source. No manufacturer spin-rate figure was found, so spin_rpm is null.
