Overview
The Franklin Hayden Patriquin C45° Series Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle is built for players who want extended reach, precise control, and aggressive shot-making. Featuring an elongated shape developed for Hayden Patriquin's fast, attacking style, this series delivers added leverage while maintaining stability through every swing. Franklin's double thermoformed unibody construction reinforces the structure not once but twice, enhancing durability and reducing vibration for a solid, responsive feel on contact.
At 16.4 inches long and 7.6 inches wide with a 5.6-inch handle, the Hayden Patriquin C45° Series offers extra reach for drives, passing shots, and overheads while still allowing for controlled hand speed at the kitchen. Available in both 14mm and 16mm PowerFlex™ polymer core options, players can choose between faster pop and responsiveness or added touch and forgiveness. An inner foam layer expands the sweet spot and adds structural integrity, resulting in a paddle that feels lively yet controlled across all areas of the court.
The T700 raw carbon fiber face features a 45-degree peel ply texture designed to maximize grit and spin potential. This angular surface enhances touch and shot precision, allowing players to roll heavy topspin, carve sharp angles, and stay composed on resets and counters. The premium wrap grip provides excellent absorption and tackiness, helping reduce vibration and maintain a secure feel during extended play.
Best for: Players who thrive on aggressive, all-court play with an emphasis on reach and spin. The Hayden Patriquin C45° Series is ideal for those who want to apply pressure with powerful drives, spin-loaded passes, and confident finishing shots while maintaining control in fast-paced exchanges.
