🎉 BIG NEWS, pickleball fam! Franklin Sports just scored a major win—welcoming pro athlete Parris Todd to the squad in December 2024! 🏆
Parris isn’t just a powerhouse on the pickleball court—she’s also a former tennis star and a super stylish entrepreneur. Talk about a triple threat! 👗🎾🔥 And now she’s officially part of the #FranklinFamily!
Her trophy case? STACKED. 🥇 With over 43 medals across the APP and PPA tours, two Major League Pickleball titles in 2022, a triple crown at the 2023 US Open, and most recently—a silver medal in women’s singles at the 2024 CIBC PPA Finals! 🙌
This partnership kicks off an exciting new chapter for Franklin as we level up our presence in pickleball and influencer marketing. 💥 As part of the collab, Parris will help design a signature paddle and performance gear, bringing her on-court expertise, killer style, and winning mindset to create next-level pickleball products.
“What drew our team to Parris was her undeniable passion, performance, and strength as a pro athlete,” said Adam Franklin, President of Franklin Sports. “We’re beyond excited to partner with her as she continues to shake up the game and climb the ranks!” 💪
At just 26, Parris has already made her mark in and beyond the pickleball scene. Since jumping into the sport in 2020, she’s climbed all the way to No. 8 in the PPA tour rankings—and she’s just getting started! 🚀
“I’m thrilled to announce my multi-year partnership with Franklin Sports,” said Todd. “With their epic reputation in pro sports, I’m pumped to join forces and help design innovative, high-performance gear. Together, we’re shaping the future of pickleball—making it more stylish and high-tech!” ✨
Franklin Sports first entered the pickleball scene in 2017 with the X-40 ball, which became the official ball of USA Pickleball, the APP Tour, and the US Open. Since then, we’ve become a go-to brand for top-tier paddles, balls, nets, and more!
Parris now joins Franklin’s all-star athlete lineup, including the Johnson family (JW, Jorja, and Julie), Hayden Patriquin, Sam Querrey, Megan Fudge, Ryler DeHeart, Will Howells, Spencer Lanier, Alexa Schull, Christine Trifunovic, and other top international pros. Even Maria Sharapova has played with a Franklin paddle during celeb matches! 🌟
Let’s cheer Parris on as she continues to shine on and off the court! 💫
