Franklin C45 Tempo 16mm Pickleball Paddle

About This Item

Franklin Sports is continuing to raise the bar for competitive pickleball by introducing the all new C45 Tempo Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle. Featuring a 16mm thick PowerFlex polymer core, this pro-design paddle features an traditional 5.1" inch handle with 4.3" inch handle circumference (weight range 7.6 - 8.0oz). The C45 Tempo is a traditional shape pickleball paddle that offers a multitude of different technologies, giving players 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 while reducing vibration to a degree that sets it apart from competitor paddles. Each paddle is constructed with a large inner foam channel that allows the C45 to stay structurally sound while also keeping the polymer core intact to preserve long-lasting premium performance! 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 which 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 so players can control the additional core power without sacrificing precision. The C45 pickleball paddle has been approved by both USA Pickleball and the United Pickleball Association for competitive play. We've taken our paddle engineering to new heights, and the results speak for themselves. If you’re ready to enhance your game, be sure to grab the C45 today and we'll see you on the court!

New C45 14 Mm Dynasty

i love my c45! i bought the 14mm dynasty in red and it has been my favorite paddle so far! i play 5.0 tournament and i have to say the control and snap power i get is amazing and lets me dominate and move around my opponents. i highly recommend this paddle to all my friends. It does have a little break in period but after that it gets less stiff and you can really feel the power

The C45 as received felt good, but I felt it could be a tad better. I added about 2grams of weight at 10- and 2- o'clock, and now it feels practically perfect for swing weight, balance, and overall weight. I've played as well as I ever have with this paddle. I'll keep this as long as it lasts, which I can't see why it won't be a pretty long time. Price was fair after using referral discount “alanp10”. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to improve their game. Give it a try!

Best Paddle

The sound, feel, and texture of this paddle is superior over the tour model, which is saying a lot because I really liked my tour model.
