Franklin C45 Carbon Fiber Hybrid Pickleball Paddle
Overview
The Franklin C45 Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle is built for players who demand power, precision, and consistency. Featuring a Double Thermoformed unibody frame and a T700 Carbon Fiber surface applied at a 45-degree angle, this paddle is engineered for peak performance. The Double Thermoforming process enhances core integrity, reinforces the unibody structure, and reduces vibration for a solid, responsive feel, with enhanced durability. Meanwhile, the T700 Carbon Fiber face uniquely being applied at a 45 degree angle creates a consistent hitting surface, maximizing spin potential and ensuring reliable shot output even on off-center hits. With an elongated 16.3" x 7.6" shape and a 7.75 oz weight, the C45 is built for power players who love to attack. If you're looking for a paddle that lets you rip baseline returns with confidence and delivers elite-level spin, this one sits at the top of the market.
