Features

  • UNRIVALED STRENGTH: The C45 paddle is constructed using a double thermoforming process designed to maximize the integrity of the paddle by enhancing the structure not once, but twice which increases the strength of the unibody design and helps to reduce vibration
  • 45 DEGREE CARBON SURFACE: The T700 Carbon Fiber peel ply texture is applied at a 45 degree angle to provide a natural, consistent texture throughout the entire paddle face, which maximizes grit and spin potential and allows players to increase shot precision and control
  • POWERFLEX CORE : Our special PowerFlex 14mm polymer core is crafted with premium precision and an inner foam layer that gives players extra pop on their shots while also providing the paddle with additional structural integrity
  • SUPERIOR GRIP: The C45 grip is made from a high-quality wrap designed with proper absorption capabilities and a premium tacky grip to greatly reduce paddle vibration and ensure that players maintain the strongest grasp possible
  • USAP/UPA APPROVED: Approved by both USA Pickleball and the United Pickleball Association for competitive play.

    • Very good paddle
Size: 16 mm Color: Dynasty |Electric Red
Very comfortable with this paddle. It has improved my game and reduced shock to my arm and shoulder.

    • I’m a 2.7 and this upped my game
Size: 14 mm Color: Hybrid |Electric Blue
Love it! Paddle is very light, allows me to swing faster adding additional velocity to the ball. Good control as well. If it’s too light you can add tape but I’m swinging it right out of the box and it feels great. I’m only a 2.7 and I was worried a 14mm is too much for me but after a few sessions, I was hitting inside the lines! Too early for me to comment on quality and durability, but so far so good. ... show more

    • Power not pop
Size: 16 mm Color: Tempo |Electric Red
I finally found out what the difference between pop and power is. This paddle has a very small amount of pop but has a ton of power when you hit the ball hard. Great control as well. The broomstick had too much pop for me. Everything that I hit went long with it.

    • One of the best all around gen3 paddles on the market today.
Size: 14 mm Color: Dynasty |Electric Red
I've been using a Joola Pro 4 perseus 14mm for a while, but managed to break 2 of them in only 1 month each. The early c45s seemed to have no grit, but these now have a ton of grit. This paddle might not hit as hard as the joola, but i would still say it is a power paddle. No issues putting shape/spin on the ball, putting the ball away, dinking/control, etc. This is definitely one of the best well rounded - do everything - paddle. They come in decently lightweight, mine was around 7.85oz. which leaves room to add weight if you wish, but out of the box it is already completely playable. ... show more

    • Huge Improvement from the Last One!
Size: 14 mm Color: Tempo |Electric Red
This is a great deal. Slightly worn on the edges. The grip is in like-new shape. Until you decide to keep a paddle, put just a little tape over the edges while you try it out . —Pickleball Patty

    • Awesome paddle experienced
Size: 16 mm Color: Dynasty |Electric Mint
The media could not be loaded. I love the paddle. I had a good drive and dinking experienced when I tried it. In just few games I used to handle the paddle easily..

    • Powerful and lightweight
Size: 13.25 mm Color: Parris Todd | Lilac
My wife loves this paddle. Very lightweight and good pop. She also is able to put a good amount of spin on the ball. Highly recommend for someone looking for a powerful, yet light paddle.
