The Franklin C45 Carbon Fibre Paddle is a high-performance hybrid paddle designed to deliver a balance of power, control, and spin for competitive pickleball. Built with a 14mm Power Flex core and double thermoformed unibody construction, the C45 provides enhanced structural integrity, reduced vibration, and responsive pop on the court.
Its T700 Carbon Fibre surface features a 45-degree peel ply texture that creates consistent grit across the paddle face for increased grip and spin potential. The elongated 5.7-inch handle offers additional reach and a comfortable tacky grip, while the inner foam layer helps maintain core integrity and stability during play.
