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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs hinted at above, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAverage Weight: 7.7oz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight Range: 7.5 - 7.9 ounces\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrip Circumference: 4 1\/3\" (Medium) Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1\/8\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrip Style: High Quality Wrap\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrip Manufacturer: Franklin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandle Length: 5.6\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaddle Length: 16.4\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaddle Width: 7.6\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaddle Face: 45° T700 Raw Carbon Fiber\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCore Material: POWERFLEX, Dual Foam Perimeter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCore Thickness: 16mm (.629\")\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdge Guard: Yes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwist Weight: 6.3 kg-cm²\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSwing Weight: 116 kg-cm²\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCertifications: USAP, UPA-A\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eManufacturer: Franklin Pickleball\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Franklin","offers":[{"title":"Mint","offer_id":47288308105442,"sku":null,"price":229.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":47288308138210,"sku":null,"price":229.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/6137\/8274\/files\/FRKL209_C45_Dynasty_Green_16mm_1__33627_1_46367210-83a6-49b2-b6be-54f875b5d6fb.jpg?v=1767751464"},{"product_id":"franklin-c45-anna-leigh-waters-aurelius-alw-pickleball-paddle","title":"Franklin C45 Anna Leigh Waters Aurelius ALW Pickleball Paddle","description":"\u003ch1 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\" data-uw-rm-heading=\"level\"\u003eFranklin C45 Anna Leigh Waters Aurelius ALW Pickleball Paddle\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for players who want a pro-level traditional shape with easy hand speed and a lively all-court response, the Franklin C45 Anna Leigh Waters Aurelius ALW Pickleball Paddle uses a 15.7in x 7.9in profile that feels quick through firefights while still offering enough width for confident blocks, counters, and roll volleys. We found this shape especially useful for aggressive doubles players who want to speed the ball up, redirect pace, and stay dangerous at the kitchen without giving up stability on full swings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFranklin pairs that shape with a double-thermoformed unibody frame, a 45 degree T700 carbon fiber peel ply face, and the PowerFlex polymer core with inner foam to give the paddle a crisp, poppy response that still feels controlled on contact. Being the Anna Leigh Waters shape, we know it is built with high-level competition in mind. The 12.7mm is the most explosive and quickest off the face, the 14mm gives us a balanced blend of pop and touch, and the 16mm settles the platform down for players who want a little more dwell and forgiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDouble-Thermoformed Unibody Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- Franklin reinforces the paddle structure twice to increase overall strength, improve long-term integrity, and reduce vibration when contact speeds up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e45 Degree T700 Carbon Fiber Surface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- The peel ply carbon face is laid at a 45 degree angle to create consistent surface texture, helping us grab the ball better for heavier spin and more confident shot shaping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowerFlex Core\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- The PowerFlex polymer core is built to deliver lively rebound while maintaining enough touch for resets, counters, and controlled placement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInner Foam Channel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- Perimeter foam helps preserve structural stability and adds a more solid, connected feel, especially when contact drifts outside the center of the face.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnna Leigh Waters Pro Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- This traditional shape keeps the paddle maneuverable in hand battles while still giving us enough width and stability to handle fast exchanges and attack out of transition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12.7mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e | Fastest Rebound and Maximum Pop\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe 12.7mm is the most explosive option in the lineup.
