Overview

The Franklin C45 Anna Leigh Waters is the signature paddle of the most dominant player in the sport, and the 12.7mm build is its fastest. Thin, poppy and quick in the hands, it is made for intermediate-to-pro players who win points at the kitchen line with speed and spin.

How it plays

The Aurelius hybrid shape keeps a big, forgiving sweet spot while the 45-degree T700 raw carbon face grips the ball for heavy spin on rolls and dinks. At 12.7mm the PowerFlex core with its inner foam channel is lively and fast: easy pop on the counter and blistering hand speed in quick exchanges, with enough touch to reset when you need to.
