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.

    • Good control & Power
Size: Dynasty - 16mm Color: 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

    • One awesome paddle
Size: Hybrid - 14mm Color: 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.
Size: Dynasty - 14mm Color: 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

    • Best Pickleball paddle
Size: Dynasty - 16mm Color: 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.

    • Highly recommend
Size: Hybrid - 14mm Color: Blue
I absolutely love this paddle. I fell in love with this paddle the first time I tried it. For me it’s the perfect mixture of power to control ratio. Highly recommend. I ordered this a few days before they dropped the pink and purple version. I will more than likely purchase in purple! lol

    • Great control for a power paddle
Size: Dynasty - 14mm Color: Red
Very good quality paddle. The spin is upper echelon. The control is nice for a power paddle. I like that it’s an elongated with 7.6” width. The handle length is perfect for me as I hit primarily one handed backhand drives but still can fit two on the handle. I recommend adding 0.5g/inch tungsten tape to help better the feel and increase stability. ... show more
