Franklin Pickleballs — Brand Guide
When the world’s largest pickleball tournament needed an official ball, they chose Franklin. The Franklin X-40 is the official outdoor pickleball of the US Open Pickleball Championship — the tournament that defines professional standards for the sport — and it is the ball that serious Indian pickleball players, coaches, and clubs reach for when they want to train and compete on the same equipment used at the highest levels of the game. Franklin pickleball balls are not just a popular product; they are the outdoor pickleball benchmark.
At God of Sports, we stock Franklin X-40 pickleballs in packs of 6 and 20 — for individual players who want a proper supply for regular sessions, and for clubs and coaches who need multi-ball capacity for drills and structured training. All authentic, shipped pan-India from Mumbai.
Franklin X-40 Outdoor Pickleball — The Standard
The Franklin X-40 is the most widely used tournament outdoor pickleball in the world. What makes it the professional standard is not marketing — it is the consistency that the seamless, single-piece rotationally moulded construction delivers. Most pickleball balls are made in two halves welded together; that seam creates a wobble that affects flight, bounce, and feel. The X-40’s seamless construction eliminates that wobble entirely, producing the same predictable flight path on every shot — the standard that competitive play demands and that serious training requires.
The 40 precision-drilled holes reduce wind resistance for consistent outdoor flight, the hard polymer body is built to withstand the abrasion of outdoor hard courts, and the diameter and weight meet every USA Pickleball specification. When your ball behaves the same way every session, your game develops faster.
Franklin X-40 — Pack of 6
The Franklin X-40 Outdoor Pickleball — Pack of 6 is the right choice for individual players, pairs, and small groups who want a proper stock of X-40 balls for regular outdoor sessions. Six balls provides enough supply for continuous rally and drill practice without stopping to retrieve after every shot, and the X-40’s durability means a pack of 6 should last a serious player through multiple weeks of regular use.
Best for: Individual players, pairs, small groups
Holes: 40 | Type: Outdoor | Approval: USA Pickleball approved, Official US Open ball
Franklin X-40 — Pack of 20
The Franklin X-40 Outdoor Pickleball — Pack of 20 is the club and academy purchase — the right volume for coaches running multi-ball drills, clubs setting up courts for group play, and anyone who needs a proper inventory of balls for structured sessions. At 20 balls, you have enough for basket drills, multi-player rallies, and rotation without constant interruption. The per-ball price is lower than the pack of 6, making this the smarter buy for any player who goes through regular weekly sessions.
Best for: Clubs, academies, coaches, regular players who train frequently
Holes: 40 | Type: Outdoor | Approval: USA Pickleball approved
