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.

  • One awesome paddle
Size: 14 mm Color: Hybrid |Electric Blue
Made my game improve dramatically. Well worth every dime. Highly recommend this paddle. Lightweight and very controllable. Great for professionals as well as novice players.

  • One of the best all around gen3 paddles on the market today.
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

  • Best Pickleball paddle
Size: 16 mm Color: Dynasty |Electric Mint
Best Pickleball paddle I know out there. Can put so much spin on it and feel full control of your shots you make. Way cheaper then those $200+ expensive paddles people think must get.

  • Handle too short
Size: 16 mm Color: Tempo |Electric Red
the paddle was overall pretty good, but the handle was way too short. would need an overgrip and wrap it way above the throat to make it comfortable for a twoey but even then the handle is too short.

  • 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.

  • Good control & Power
Size: 16 mm Color: Dynasty |Electric Mint
Yes, great paddle, I used it a few days as it came, then added some weight to the sides. I appreciate Franklin for not putting player’s name on there paddles
