Franklin C45 Dynasty

Hand-assembled to your spec — not pulled off a shelf. Pick your grip and your core, we build it and ship it ready to play.

The Paddle

The Dynasty is the elongated shape in Franklin's C45 line, and it's built like a serious paddle: a double-thermoformed unibody frame, a T700 carbon face finished with a 45° peel-ply texture, and a PowerFlex polymer core with a large inner foam channel running through it. 16.4" long, 7.6" wide, 5.6" handle.

The unibody build is the first thing you notice — it's stiff and quiet, with very little buzz coming back up the handle on an off-center ball. The 45° peel ply holds the ball long enough to actually shape a roll or a slice, and the foam channel is where the pop off the baseline comes from. Franklin lists it at 116 swing weight with a 6.3 twist weight: this is a paddle that wants a full swing, not a flick. USA Pickleball and UPA approved.

Who It's For

Singles players and baseline drivers — 16.4" of reach and a 116 swing weight put real mass behind a drive. You'll feel it on third shots.
Spin-first players — the 45° peel-ply T700 face bites and holds, so rolls and slices come off with real shape rather than just speed.
Anyone who hates a buzzy paddle — the double-thermoformed unibody frame kills vibration and keeps the feel solid on mishits.
! Not the best fit if: you're already losing hands battles. A 116 swing weight is on the heavy side and 6.3 twist weight is only average — if your game is quick counters at the kitchen, or your arm and shoulder are telling you about it by the third game, this one is going to feel like work.

What's Included

🎾
Hesacore Tour Grip
Optional upgrade. Cuts vibration, kills hand fatigue. Tour XS, Tour Small, or Gel Small — XS is what's pictured.
🤝
Tacky Overgrip
Premium feel. Locks in, no slip, no re-wrap after every match.
🛡️
Edge Guard Tape
Protects the rim and sharpens the look — built, not stock.

Pick Your Core

Same elongated Dynasty shape and the same 45° T700 face on both — the core thickness changes how the ball comes off it.

16MM · 7.6–8.0 OZ
Cushion Without Losing the Edge
More give on resets and drops while keeping the Dynasty's offensive character. Every published number on this page — 116 swing weight, 6.3 twist weight, the weight range — is Franklin's spec for the 16mm.
14MM
Firmer, Quicker Hands
Crisper off the face and faster to react with — the better pick if your points end in a speed-up. Franklin doesn't publish separate numbers for the 14mm build; call us and we'll tell you how the two compare in hand.
