DESCRIPTION:

The Franklin C45 Tempo combines precision engineering with tournament-grade performance. Its double-thermoformed unibody frame delivers structural integrity while dampening vibration—a hallmark of elite paddle design. The strategically positioned inner foam channel maintains rigidity without compromising the polymer core, ensuring durability through competitive play. A 45-degree carbon fiber peel ply surface maximizes spin potential and grit, translating to explosive power with controlled accuracy. Players gain immediate pop off the strings while retaining the touch needed for finesse shots. Built for serious competitors seeking a paddle that rewards technique and aggression equally, the C45 Tempo elevates your court presence.

TEMPO®

UNRIVALED STRENGTH: The C45° paddle is constructed using a double thermoforming process designed to maximize the integrity of the paddle by enhancing the structure — not once, but twice — which increases the strength of the unibody design and helps to reduce vibration
45 DEGREE CARBON SURFACE: The T700 Carbon Fiber peel ply texture is applied at a 45 degree angle to provide a natural, consistent texture throughout the entire paddle face, which maximizes grit and spin potential and allows players to increase shot precision and control
POWERFLEX CORE : Our special PowerFlex polymer core is crafted with premium precision and an inner foam layer that gives players extra pop on their shots while also providing the paddle with additional structural integrity
SUPERIOR GRIP: The C45° grip is made from a high-quality wrap designed with proper absorption capabilities and a premium tacky grip to greatly reduce paddle vibration and ensure that players maintain the strongest grasp possible
