FRANKLIN C45 Hybrid - 14mm

This paddle is so high-performing that it has been double-molded. The Franklin C45 Raw Carbon utilizes state-of-the-art technologies to propel your game into the future. Its double-molded construction ensures exceptional durability and reduced vibration, thanks to its 14 mm Powerflex core. This core incorporates a foam sheet in the center to prevent crushing, absorb vibration, expand the sweet spot, and redistribute energy evenly for explosive shots.

Above this next-generation core is a 7.6-inch wide T700 carbon fiber hitting surface. This surface is positioned at a 45° angle to create a durable texture that increases ball contact time, promoting maximum spin in all directions.

All of these materials are integrated into a monocoque construction that extends to a 5.7" handle, allowing you to generate ball speed and reach even the most challenging shots near the net. The Franklin C45° meets USAP and UPA specifications and is approved for official competition.

45° CARBON SURFACE

T700 carbon fiber is applied as a peel layer at a 45° angle. The T700 creates a naturally textured surface, and the 45° angle application ensures a consistent, real texture across the entire racket face, maximizing spin potential.

DOUBLE THERMOFORMING

The C45° is constructed using a double thermoforming process. This process ensures the racket's integrity by reinforcing the structure not once, but twice. This adds strength to the unibody design and helps reduce vibration.

POWERFLEX™

Our special 14mm PowerFlex™ core is precision-crafted to keep our core completely intact. The premium inner foam layer provides players with incredible pop on the court while maintaining the racket's structural integrity.

SUPERIOR GRIP

The C45's grip is made from a high-quality wrapper that helps reduce vibration. This grip offers a premium feel while ensuring optimal shock absorption, giving players the best possible hold.

USAP/UPA APPROVED
