Overview
The Franklin C45 Dynasty Pickleball Paddle brings a new elongated shape to the C45 lineup, offering extended reach and effortless power for players who love to drive from deep and finish with spin. Like the original Hybrid, the Dynasty features Franklin's Double Thermoformed unibody construction for added durability and vibration dampening, and a T700 Raw Carbon Fiber face applied at a 45-degree angle to maximize spin and maintain control, even on aggressive shots.
What sets the Dynasty apart is its shape and feel. At 16.4" long with a 5.6" handle, it gives you more leverage on drives and putaways, while still feeling balanced at the kitchen. It comes in both 14mm and 16mm core options:
-
The 14mm version plays fast and poppy, perfect for attacking players who want quick acceleration and extra feedback off the face.
-
The 16mm softens the feel slightly, offering more control and plow-through for players who prefer a steadier response and deeper pocket.
Both models are loaded with Franklin's PowerFlex foam-infused core, helping expand the sweetspot and add that signature blend of pop, structure, and spin. If you're a power-minded player looking for extra reach without sacrificing touch, the C45 Dynasty is Franklin's most aggressive and dialed-in shape yet.
