C45

The Franklin Sports C45 is a hybrid-shaped paddle with a 14mm EVA foam core, known for its balance of power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 7.5 ounces with a 5.5-inch grip, it falls into the lightweight category, generally offering good maneuverability. Its swing weight of 104 is considered low, further enhancing maneuverability.

This paddle may be suitable for a variety of players, from intermediate to advanced, seeking a blend of power and control. The high volley speed rating (8.9/10) and pop percentile (96th) suggest potential for strong volleys. The drive speed rating (7.4/10) and spin rating (8.1/10) indicate decent power and spin potential. The relatively low twist weight (5.42) and corresponding low rating (2.8/10) might make the paddle susceptible to twisting on off-center hits.
