Franklin C45° Hayden Patriquin 16mm Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle
Built for players who want pro-level control, explosive pop, and game-changing spin, the Hayden Patriquin Signature Series delivers a paddle that feels as dominant as it looks.
Paddle Benefits
The Franklin C45° Hayden Patriquin 16mm Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle is engineered for players searching for a high-performance blend of stability, spin, and power. Its double thermoformed construction creates a strong unibody frame, enhancing durability while significantly reducing vibration. This design gives the paddle a solid, connected feel—ideal for players who want consistency during hard drives, punch volleys, and quick defensive resets.
At the heart of the C45° is Franklin’s PowerFlex™ Core, which incorporates a premium inner foam layer to add effortless pop without sacrificing control. This innovative core helps deliver clean, predictable feedback across the entire hitting surface, allowing players to attack confidently while maintaining touch during dinks and soft game exchanges. The 16mm thickness adds an extra boost in stability, making the paddle more forgiving on off-center contact.
The standout feature of this signature model is its 45-degree T700 Carbon Fiber face. Applied at a precise diagonal angle, the surface creates a uniform textured feel that grips the ball longer, maximizing spin potential and enhancing ball control. Whether you’re shaping heavy topspin, carving slice returns, or rolling volleys at the kitchen, this paddle gives you the tools to dictate the pace.
A superior grip wrap completes the design, offering enhanced tackiness, moisture absorption, and additional vibration dampening to help keep your hands secure during fast, aggressive play. If you're looking for a paddle that blends pro-level spin, dependable stability, and signature-series precision, the Franklin C45° Hayden Patriquin is engineered 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.
