Franklin C45° Blue Cube Carbon Fiber 14mm Pickleball Paddle

Franklin Sports is continuing to raise the bar for competitive pickleball by introducing the all new C45 Carbon Fiber Paddle. Featuring a 14mm thick core, this paddle features an elongated 5.7in handle with 4.3in handle circumference (weight range 7.6-7.9oz). The C45 is a hybrid paddle that offers a multitude of different technologies, giving each player a combination of supreme control and full power on the court.

The C45 is constructed with a DOUBLE thermoformed unibody frame. This process is exceptional because it helps to fully enhance the structural integrity of the paddle itself and reduce vibration. The additional thermoforming process is one of the many reasons our paddle is different than the rest. The large inner foam channel allows the C45 to stay structurally sound while also keeping the polymer core in tact, no crushing here! Players will feel the incredible pop coming from the paddle but also feel fully in control.

The carbon fiber surface layer is applied as a 45 degree peel ply texture. The 45 degree angle provides a superior amount of grit and spin right off the surface, giving players an incredible amount of power and speed right off the paddle. This process maximizes grip and unlocks spin potential. If you’re ready to enhance your game, be sure to grab the C45 today - See you on the court!

• DOUBLE THERMOFORMED: The C45 is constructed using a double thermoforming process. This process helps to ensure the integrity of the paddle by enhancing the structure, not once but twice. This brings strength to the unibody design and helps to reduce vibration.
• 45 DEGREE CARBON SURFACE: The T700 Carbon Fiber is applied as a peel ply texture at a 45 degree angle. T700 creates a naturally textured surface, however laying it at a 45 degree angle provides a true consistent texture throughout the entire paddle face, maximizing spin potential. Players will feel a supreme amount of grit and spin immediately.
• POWER FLEX : Our special Power Flex 14mm Core is crafted with precision to keep our core fully intact. The premium inner foam layer gives players premium pop on the court while also providing the paddle with structural integrity.
• SUPERIOR GRIP: The C45 grip is made from a high-quality wrap that helps to reduce vibration. This grip provides a premium tacky feel while also providing proper absorption capabilities, giving players the strongest grasp possible.
• USAP/UPA APPROVED: Approved by both USA Pickleball and the United Pickleball Association for competitive play.
