Franklin Anna Leigh Waters Signature C45° Paddle Series (Pre-Order)

This is a PRE-ORDER (releasing around the second week of March)

THE PADDLE SERIES TRUSTED BY THE #1 PLAYER IN THE WORLD

Franklin Sports continues to raise the bar in competitive pickleball with the all-new C45° Aurelius™ Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle. Designed for elite performance, the C45° Aurelius™ is offered in three thicknesses—12.7mm, 14mm, and 16mm—and features a PowerFlex™ polymer core that delivers a dynamic balance of power, control, and feel.

Built with a traditional 5.1-inch handle and a 3.9-inch handle circumference, the paddle provides a familiar, confidence-inspiring grip. Weight ranges from 7.2oz to 8.0oz depending on thickness, allowing players to fine-tune balance and responsiveness to match their game.

At the core of the C45° Aurelius™ is Franklin’s advanced double thermoformed unibody construction. This process enhances structural integrity while significantly reducing vibration, resulting in a solid, stable feel that sets it apart from traditional paddle builds. An enlarged inner foam channel further reinforces the paddle’s structure and helps preserve the polymer core, ensuring consistent performance over time.

The carbon fiber surface features a 45-degree peel ply texture engineered to maximize grip and unlock spin potential directly off the face. The result is explosive pop when you need it, paired with precise control when placement matters most. Players will immediately feel the added power while maintaining confidence through every shot.

The C45° Aurelius™ represents the next evolution of Franklin paddle engineering and is purpose-built for players who demand uncompromising performance. If you are ready to elevate your game, the C45° Aurelius™ is ready for the court.
