Franklin C45 Hayden Patriquin 16mm Pickleball Paddle – Absolute Control, Intense Spin

Assert your class on the court with the Franklin C45 Hayden Patriquin 16mm Pickleball Paddle. While the 14mm version leans towards explosive speed, this 16mm edition is engineered to provide maximum control, high stability, and a remarkably soft feel, all while maintaining intense spin thanks to its signature 45-degree angle carbon face. This is the perfect choice for players who want to master the tempo of the game and prioritize durability and precision.

Key Highlights of the Franklin C45 Hayden Patriquin 16mm Pickleball Paddle

1. 45° Carbon Surface – Maximized Spin

Authentic T700 Raw Carbon fiber is woven and applied at a 45-degree angle to create an extremely uniform micro-textured surface. This technology allows the paddle face to "bite" the ball better, maximizing spin potential and allowing you to execute tricky shots and easily adjust ball trajectory as desired.

2. Stable & Soft 16mm PowerFlex Core

With a 16mm thickness, the PowerFlex polymer core acts as a premium shock-absorption system. This structure not only expands the sweet spot but also absorbs maximum vibration when returning powerful smashes, providing a solid, stable ball-contact feel, which is exceptionally well-suited for dink shots at the net or resetting the game's pace.

3. Unibody Double Thermoformed Construction – Doubled Durability

Crafted using a double thermoforming process, the paddle's unibody construction provides superior rigidity and integrity. This design helps the paddle withstand high-intensity competition while eliminating excess vibrations transmitted to the wrist, protecting the player from fatigue.

4. Elongated Design for Optimized Reach

The elongated shape helps extend your reach at the net, providing excellent support for difficult saves. Additionally, the 5.6-inch (approx. 14.4cm) handle, wrapped in soft cushioning, offers excellent leverage and ideal space for players who prefer a two-handed backhand.
