The Franklin Challenger Aluminum is an aluminum paddle, durable for many games and light enough to maneuver easily. Two aluminum sheets surround a honeycomb core, which gives good rebound on every type of shot. The edge is protected by a rubber strip around the entire perimeter, the handle base is closed and the grip is padded with EVA, soft and comfortable.
