Lightweight / Small Grip

Franklin C45 Hayden Patriquin Thermoformed 14mm Pickleball Paddle

The Franklin C45 Hayden Patriquin 14mm Pickleball Paddle is built for quick-strike players who thrive on offense. The thinner PowerFlex core delivers a crisp, fast response that lets us attack with confidence while still maintaining touch around the kitchen. The 45° T700 raw carbon surface enhances bite and spin, giving players surgical control over placement. Compared to the 16mm version, this 14mm model adds a bit more heat and feedback for those who like to feel the ball on every swing. Double thermoforming reinforces the structure for consistent pop and vibration reduction, making this paddle just as stable as it is aggressive.

Key Features
  • 45° T700 Carbon Fiber Surface – Angled weave provides maximum texture for consistent spin and ball bite across the entire face.
  • PowerFlex Polymer Core (14mm) – Thinner design adds pop and reactivity while retaining control through an inner foam layer.
  • Double Thermoformed Construction – Strengthened twice for a rigid, vibration-dampening unibody that lasts.
  • Elongated Shape – Adds reach on drives and overheads without sacrificing quickness at the net.
  • 5.6” Long Handle – Promotes reach at the kitchen line, power on slams, and room for a second hand on backhand passing shots.
Expert Snapshot
“The 14mm C45 feels lively off the face — it’s that paddle you grab when you want quick hands, easy spin, and a fast, connected feel on every shot.”
