Franklin C45 Hayden Patriquin Thermoformed 16mm Pickleball Paddle The Franklin C45 Hayden Patriquin 16mm Pickleball Paddle brings the same pro-level design as the 14mm model but with a thicker, more forgiving feel. Its PowerFlex core provides a plush response, helping us absorb pace and reset the ball with precision. The 45° T700 carbon fiber surface maintains elite spin potential, while the added thickness stabilizes off-center hits and gives players confidence in dinking battles and soft play. When compared to the 14mm, the 16mm C45 is the control counterpart, a paddle that rewards patience, consistency, and shot placement just as much as power.
