Sporting a 16.4” overall length and a thick POWERFLEX core, the Franklin C45 Dynasty 16mm Pickleball Paddle provides avid players with a compelling combination of reach, control, and pop. While the elongated length helps with reach, it is really the extended 5.6” handle that helps us better defend from the kitchen line. With every defensive block and offensive slam, the T700 Raw Carbon Fiber hitting surface compresses the ball for impressive dwell time and grips it so we can spin it and place it right where we intended the 16mm POWERFLEX core in the Franklin C45 Dynasty 16mm Pickleball Paddle really pulls a lot of weight when it comes to performance. This core, with its unique hidden foam layer, utilizes an extra responsive design to feel soft upon contact but still return energy to the ball for reactive pop. This sneaky power, in combination with the expanded sweet spot and increased plow through ability provided by a foam perimeter, allows us to play aggressively when our opponent leaves the door open. Did we mention this paddle is double thermoformed? Well, it is, and it leads to impressive consistency and plenty of durability.
