The Franklin C45 Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle – 14mm Hybrid (Blue) is designed for players who want a fast, responsive paddle with excellent spin and controlled power. Built for competitive and high-performance play, this paddle offers a lively feel at the net while maintaining stability and consistency from the baseline.

The 14mm polymer core provides added pop and quicker response, making it ideal for aggressive players who rely on speed, counter-punching, and sharp put-aways. The hybrid paddle shape delivers a balanced blend of reach, manoeuvrability, and forgiveness, suitable for both singles and doubles play.

Featuring a premium carbon fiber face with a specialised angled fibre layout, the C45 enhances spin generation and touch without sacrificing durability. The thermoformed unibody construction increases structural integrity and reduces unwanted vibration, resulting in a solid, confident feel on every shot. Finished in a striking blue colourway, this paddle is approved for competitive play and suitable for players looking to step up their performance.
