A paddle so nice they thermoformed it twice. This paddle has only been used one time! The Franklin C45 Raw Carbon Paddle leans on ultra-modern tech to help us take our game into the future. The double thermoformed construction process not only promises longevity but works to reduce vibrations to help out the prolific new 14mm Powerflex Core. This core features a sheet of foam in the center that prevents core crush, absorbs vibrations, expands the sweet spot, and evenly returns energy to the ball for poppy put away power. Sitting on top of the new core found in the Franklin C45 Raw Carbon Paddle is a 7.6” wide T700 carbon fiber hitting surface. Franklin situates this gritty dwell-time increasing material at a 45° angle to create a long-lasting texture that grips the ball so that we can spin it in any direction. This combination of materials leads down the unibody construction to a 5.7” handle that not only enables us to create swing speed but helps us reach tricky dinks to dominate at the net.
