What Our Paddle Lab
Experts Say
The Paddle Lab data reveals this model to be a specialized "Defensive Tank," engineered for the player who prioritizes an unshakeable sweet spot over lightning-fast hand speed. With an elite Twist Weight of 26.90 and a high Consistency rating of 2.69, this paddle is built to neutralize high-velocity drives; it resists twisting on off-center hits and ensures the ball reacts predictably across the entire face. While the 871.55 Swing Weight and 1023 RPM Spin Rate suggest a heavier feel with less emphasis on aggressive topspin, the paddle’s significant mass provides a natural "plow-through" effect that does the heavy lifting for you during resets and blocks. This technical profile is tailor-made for the Steady Strategist—the player who acts as a backboard in doubles and refuses to be bullied off the baseline. It favors a compact, efficient stroke over a loopy swing, making it ideal for those who value stability and a wide, forgiving hitting surface. If your game is built on outlasting opponents through high-percentage placement and a "reset-first" mentality, this high-inertia setup provides the professional-grade stability needed to turn an opponent's power into your own controlled counter-attack.

Description
Franklin C45° Hayden Patriquin 14mm Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle
Designed for players chasing lightning-fast hand speed, explosive pop, and elite spin, the Hayden Patriquin Signature Series delivers a paddle built to take over rallies.
Paddle Benefits
The Franklin C45° Hayden Patriquin 14mm Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle is engineered for players who want a quicker, more responsive feel without sacrificing stability. Its double thermoformed construction reinforces the paddle’s unibody frame, improving durability while dramatically reducing vibration. This creates a firmer, more connected feel at impact—ideal for players who rely on fast exchanges, punch volleys, and confident counterattacks at the kitchen.
At the core of the paddle is Franklin’s PowerFlex™ Core, featuring a premium inner foam layer that adds extra pop while preserving structural integrity. Compared to a 16mm build, this 14mm profile gives you a livelier, more explosive response, allowing you to pressure opponents with crisp drives, deep serves, and instant counterpunches. Despite the added power, the PowerFlex™ design ensures consistent performance across the sweet spot so players maintain touch and accuracy on resets and soft shots.
The standout performance advantage of this model is its T700 Carbon Fiber surface, applied at a precise 45-degree angle. This unique orientation creates a uniform texture across the hitting face, gripping the ball longer to maximize spin potential. Whether shaping heavy topspin, executing sharp slices, or rolling balls off the bounce, the C45° gives players the control needed to dictate spin and placement from anywhere on the court.
To round out the design, a superior high-tack grip wrap offers enhanced moisture absorption, improved hold, and additional vibration dampening—critical for maintaining control during fast, aggressive play. For players who want a paddle that blends quick-hand responsiveness, signature-level spin, and explosive all-court performance, the Franklin C45° Hayden Patriquin 14mm is built to elevate every point you play.

About the Brand
Franklin Sports got its start in 1946 as a regional brand of sporting goods products. Irving H. Franklin, who co-founded Franklin Sports with his brother Sydney Franklin, brought the innovative idea of centering a complete line of products on a single athlete - Joe Namath. Over the years Franklin has affiliated with the best in sports, including world-class athletes like Sugar Ray Leonard, David Robinson, and Barry Bonds.
The breakthrough for Franklin and the batting gloves came when Phillies Hall of Fame third baseman Mike Schmidt and Irving Franklin teamed up to create the basic design that is still the preferred glove of most major league hitters. Irving Franklin went to Clearwater, Florida, to meet with Schmidt during spring training in 1983. Together, they worked tirelessly to make sure that the materials and design were perfected, so collaboratively the two were the first authors. At that time, most players wore no gloves. A few wore a single golf style glove, but no company offered a product specifically designed for the needs of professional players. Franklin today is the industry leader as the premier batting glove company, and custom fits batting glove for MLB players.
In 1982, when Franklin signed Mike Schmidt, Irving Franklin asked: "How can I get the name Franklin on field at the Major League level?" Schmidt suggested putting the name on the back to maximize exposure, and then helped to design the glove for lasting success at the major league level.
