Franklin C45 Hybrid 14mm Pickleball Paddle

The Franklin C45 Hybrid 14mm is the fast, poppy member of Franklin's C45 line: a hybrid-shape paddle built on a 45-degree T700 raw carbon face and a thinner 14mm PowerFlex core, tuned for quick hands, easy pop and a spin-friendly surface. It is the C45 to pick if you want speed at the kitchen without losing bite.

How it plays

The 14mm PowerFlex core (with a premium inner foam layer) keeps the paddle lively and quick off the face, so hands battles, counters and put-aways feel fast, with a low 104 swing weight for easy manoeuvrability. The 45-degree angled T700 carbon still bites hard for spin on rolls and drives, and the double thermoformed unibody frame keeps it stable. The hybrid head splits the difference between reach and a forgiving sweet spot.
