Franklin C45 degrees Aurelius Carbon Series Pickleball Paddle is a competition pickleball paddle designed for players seeking a blend of control, spin and power. Available in 14mm and 16mm thicknesses, it features a PowerFlex polymer core, an hybrid shape, and a T700 carbon fibre peel ply surface applied at a 45-degree angle to maximise grip and spin potential. The double-thermoformed unibody construction enhances structural integrity while an inner foam channel improves stability and helps preserve long-lasting performance.
Designed with the official Aurelius shape of pro player Anna Leigh Waters, the C45 degrees combines premium materials with a responsive feel. The carbon fibre face delivers impressive pop and precision, while the foam-enhanced core provides added power without sacrificing control. Approved by USAP/UPA for tournament play, it is built for competitive players looking to elevate their game.
