Franklin Carbon STK
Specs Recap
Where this paddle fits
Factory fit: Singles Power. The Carbon STK's 9.70-inch stock balance is 58.79% of its 16.50-inch length. This paddle's stock balance sits in DinkFlow's high-plow power window. At 7.6 oz it is a lighter static weight that favors fast hands over plow-through, with a thinner core that transmits feedback faster on counters and put-aways.
↓ lowers stock balance (handle weight near the butt cap). ↑ raises stock balance (head weight at 12 o'clock). Distances assume the simplest single-position shift; real placements vary, and the DinkFlow Paddle Tuner simulates lead tape and counterweight changes against this exact spec.
