The C45\u00b0 is a hybrid paddle that offers a multitude of different technologies, giving each player a combination of supreme control and full power on the court. A paddle so nice they thermoformed it twice. 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.<\/p>\n<p>Sitting on top of the new core found in the Franklin C45 Raw Carbon Paddle is a 7.6\u201d wide T700 carbon fiber hitting surface. Franklin situates this gritty dwell-time increasing material at a 45\u00b0 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\u201d handle that not only enables us to create swing speed but helps us reach tricky dinks to dominate at the net.<\/p>\n<p>The Franklin C45\u00b0 meets USAP &amp; UPA specifications and is approved for official tournament play.<\/p>\n<p id=\"G3WLPSJ\">45\u00b0 CARBON SURFACE<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-pb-style=\"QWKBWRC\" data-element=\"main\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-content-type=\"text\">\n<p>&nbsp;The T700 Carbon Fiber is applied as a peel ply texture at a 45<strong>\u00b0<\/strong>&nbsp;angle. T700 creates a naturally textured surface and laying it at a 45<strong>\u00b0<\/strong>&nbsp;angle provides a true, consistent texture throughout the entire paddle face, maximizing spin potential.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"G3WLPSJ\">DOUBLE THERMOFORMED<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-pb-style=\"HMVIARK\" data-element=\"main\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-content-type=\"text\">\n<p>The C45\u00b0 is constructed using a double thermoforming process. This process helps to ensure the integrity of the paddle by enhancing the structure not once, but twice. This brings strength to the unibody design and helps reduce vibration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-element=\"main\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-content-type=\"text\">\n<p id=\"G3WLPSJ\">POWERFLEX\u2122<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-pb-style=\"TXLWK0H\" data-element=\"main\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-content-type=\"text\">\n<p>Our special PowerFlex\u2122 14mm core is crafted with precision to keep our core fully intact.
