Franklin C45
Hand-assembled to your spec — not pulled off a shelf. Choose your grip, we build it and ship it ready to play.
The Paddle
The C45 is Franklin's double-thermoformed carbon fiber paddle, built around a PowerFlex polymer core with foam channeling that lets the face flex more on contact — more pop and a more forgiving feel than a rigid, single-thermoform paddle. The carbon fiber face is applied at a 45° peel-ply angle (that's where the name comes from), giving it a consistent, spin-friendly texture across the whole hitting surface.
It's a lighter, faster paddle out of the box — low swing weight makes it quick at the net — with plenty of room to customize the feel further with lead or tungsten tape if you want more mass and stability.
