Franklin
C45 Dynasty 16mm
Elongated16mmGen-3Thermoformed
The Franklin C45 Dynasty 16mm is a 16 mm elongated pickleball paddle with a thermoformed, T700 Carbon Fiber face. It generates below-average spin (35th percentile) with above-average power and pop. It has a mid-range swing weight that balances power and maneuverability, but low twist weight, so off-center hits lose more pace. Overall it's a versatile all-court profile.
