Franklin C45 14mm Pickleball Paddle Review – The Franklin C45 is a power-hybrid paddle designed for speed, pop, and fast hands at the net. It features dual thermoforming, precision foam channeling, and a three-layer carbon fiber face. Lighter than many competitors, this paddle delivers excellent maneuverability but benefits from added weight for stability. With serve speeds in the 74th percentile and punch volleys in the 80th percentile, it’s one of the most explosive paddles on the market. Spin is above average (70th percentile), but not elite. If you like fast, reactive paddles with pop, the C45 is worth considering. Use code MPB at checkout for 10%+ off.
