Franklin C45 Aurelius Anna Leigh Waters

THE PADDLE SERIES TRUSTED BY THE #1 PLAYER IN THE WORLD

Franklin Sports is continuing to raise the bar for competitive pickleball by introducing the all new C45° Aurelius™ Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle.

Available in 3 thicknesses (12.7mm, 14mm and 16mm) with a PowerFlex polymer core, this pro-design paddle features a traditional 5.1inch handle with 3.9" inch handle circumference. Weight ranging from 7.2oz - 8.1oz depending upon thickness. The C45° Aurelius™ is a traditional pickleball paddle that offers a multitude of different technologies, giving players a combination of supreme control and full power on the court.

The C45° is constructed with a double-thermoformed unibody frame. This process is exceptional because it helps to fully enhance the structural integrity of the paddle while reducing vibration to a degree that sets it apart from competitor paddles. Each paddle is constructed with a large inner foam channel that allows the C45° to stay structurally sound while also keeping the polymer core intact to preserve long-lasting premium performance!

Players will feel the incredible pop coming from the paddle but also feel fully in control. The carbon fiber surface layer is applied as a 45 degree peel ply texture which provides a superior amount of grit and spin right off the surface, giving players an incredible amount of power and speed right off the paddle. This process maximizes grip and unlocks spin potential so players can control the additional core power without sacrificing precision. We've taken our paddle engineering to new heights, and the results speak for themselves. If you’re ready to enhance your game, be sure to grab the C45° today and we'll see you on the court!

Unrivaled Strength

The C45 paddle is constructed using a double thermoforming process designed to maximize the integrity of the paddle by enhancing the structure — not once, but twice — which increases the strength of the unibody design and helps to reduce vibration

45 Degree Carbon Surface

The T700 Carbon Fiber is applied as a peel ply texture at a 45 degree angle. T700 creates a naturally textured surface, however laying it at a 45 degree angle provides a true consistent texture throughout the entire paddle face, maximizing spin potential. Players will feel a supreme amount of grit and spin immediately.

Power Flex

Our special Power Flex Core (12.7mm, 14mm, 16mm) is crafted with precision to keep our core fully intact. The premium inner foam layer gives players premium pop on the court while also providing the paddle with structural integrity.
