The FS Tour Dynasty 16mm is the elongated paddle in the FS Tour line, Franklin's first thermoformed. It has a raw T700 carbon face with a lot of texture, a 16 mm polypropylene core reinforced with high-density foam on the perimeter and thermoformed construction. It measures 16.5 x 7.5 inches, with a 5.6-inch handle and a 4.3 grip. It is heavy, averaging 8.65 oz with a high swing weight, which gives stability, ball exit and a lot of spin. It takes arm strength and technique to make the most of it.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%75
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.
