Franklin C45 Paddle

The 45-degree angle of the T700 carbon fiber creates a grittier, more consistent surface texture. This design helps the paddle grip the ball more effectively upon contact, allowing you to generate more spin on your serves and drives.

The C45 is designed to balance both. Its Power Flex core provides a responsive pop for power shots, while the elongated shape and high-tack grip offer the stability and precision needed for controlled dinks and resets.

This construction method fuses the paddle into a single, solid piece rather than gluing separate parts together. It significantly reduces vibration on off-center hits and increases the overall structural integrity, giving the paddle a more solid, premium feel.

Yes, the handle measures 5.7 inches, which is specifically designed to accommodate a two-handed backhand grip comfortably while still providing enough reach for single-handed play.

Yes, the Franklin C45 is USAPA approved, meaning it meets all the necessary regulations for use in sanctioned pickleball tournaments.

A 14mm core is a 'middle-ground' thickness. It offers a nice blend of power and touch, providing enough feedback to feel the ball on your paddle face without sacrificing the pop needed for aggressive play.
