RR ScoreUpdated on 2026-10-06

The Franklin Vibe 13mm was designed for performance and durability, with a robust 13 mm polypropylene core, which gives a generous sweet spot for powerful, precise shots. The light structure, at 7.7 to 8.2 oz, improves control, and the MaxGrit fiberglass layer increases spin for precise shots. The non-slip grip gives a comfortable feel and response in the hands.

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
