• 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

• POWERFLEX CORE : Our special PowerFlex 14mm 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

16MM USAP/UPA APPROVED: Approved by both USA Pickleball and the United Pickleball Association for competitive play.
