Getting to know the FS TouR Series

The secrets to the FS Tour Series paddles’ success are the premium-quality components and innovative designs that enable players to add power and spin to shots without sacrificing precision. 


T700 Carbon Fiber

The FS Tour Series features high-quality raw T700 carbon fiber surface, producing a soft touch. This naturally textured surface helps players create spin and precisely control their shots.


Ergonomic Paddle Grip

The perforated, textured paddle grip with raised fingerpad inlays provides players with solid and comfortable contact to serve as the base for every shot in an athlete’s arsenal.


Unibody Frame

Every FS Tour series paddle is constructed with a high-density foam insert injected into the perimeter to maximize the paddle’s sweet spot and increase shot power while maintaining the perfect midweight paddle profile.
