C45° Tempo

The Franklin C45 Tempo 16mm Pickleball Paddle is designed for players seeking a balanced blend of control, spin, and stable all court performance. Its traditional shape provides a familiar feel with a balanced hitting surface, while the 5.1 inch handle and 7.6 to 8.0 ounce weight range promote maneuverability and confidence during fast paced exchanges.

Constructed with a double thermoformed unibody frame, the C45 Tempo is engineered to strengthen the paddle structure while helping reduce vibration for a smoother and more consistent response on contact. A large internal foam channel reinforces the paddle while supporting the integrity of the 16mm PowerFlex polymer core, helping maintain long lasting durability and dependable performance throughout extended play.

The T700 carbon fiber face features a 45 degree peel ply texture designed to maximize grit and spin potential across the paddle surface. This textured construction helps players generate increased spin and shot precision while maintaining control during aggressive swings and controlled touch shots alike.

Finished with a tacky, moisture absorbing grip for added comfort and stability, the C45 Tempo 16mm is approved by both USA Pickleball and the United Pickleball Association for tournament play.
