With the highest swing speed and thinnest core in the lineup, the Franklin C45 Dynasty 14mm Pickleball Paddle delivers on its promise of power. At the heart of this paddle, and its power, lies a 14mm POWERFLEX core. POWERFLEX uses a thin hidden layer of internal foam to focus on rebounding behind the ball for added pop, while creating an extremely responsive sweet spot that is narrow and near the top of the paddle to reward proper strikes on big slams. A foam perimeter surrounds this core to up the twist weight and add forgiveness to off center strikes. Created with a double thermoforming process, the Franklin C45 Dynasty 14mm Pickleball Paddle promises durability, with the edge guard doing its part to keep the T700 Raw Carbon hitting surface in tip top shape. This surface boasts a peel ply layer that allows the 45° weave of the carbon fiber to grip the ball as it dwells on the paddle face, leading to impressively reliable spin. Finally, the extended 5.6” handle completes this elongated paddle by providing exceptional reach at the net and plenty of room and leverage for two-handed shots.
