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!

Solid Paddle

It's got good pop & spin. Serves are better. Feels good at the kitchen.

The Picklebarn Etx

This is an excellent paddle. So consistent. The ball does exactly what you think it should do. Pop, power, and control are all there. Spin is the right amount to hit all of the shots. Most consistent paddle on the market.

Very Good Paddle

Very great paddle. 16MM but still provides a lot of power without giving up any control.
