Overview

The Franklin C45 Dynasty 16mm is the elongated, control-leaning paddle in Franklin's C45 line, built around a 45-degree T700 raw carbon face and a thick 16mm PowerFlex core. It is made for players chasing reach, placement and a spin-friendly surface without losing pop on the drive.

How it plays

The elongated head stretches your reach on serves, drives and overheads, while the 16mm PowerFlex polymer core (with a hidden foam channel) softens the face for cleaner resets and a steadier sweet spot. The 45-degree angled T700 carbon still bites hard for spin, so you get heavy topspin on rolls and third-shot drives with a more planted, controlled feel than a thinner build.
