Version · 8 optionsCadence Tour 12Change

The Cadence Tour 12 is the faster, more offensive version of Wilson's Cadence line. It keeps the 15.75 x 8.25 inch wide body, with a large sweet spot, but uses a polypropylene honeycomb core of just 12 mm, which gives a more direct response and explosive ball exit. The face is textured carbon, the edge is thermoformed with foam for stability, and the handle has PU foam for comfort. It weighs about 230 g (8.1 oz) and is approved by USA Pickleball.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%65
Approval from players35%65

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.
