The Franklin C45 Anna Leigh Waters Signature Aurelius is designed around the specifications and playing style preferred by professional pickleball player Anna Leigh Waters. Its 12.7mm PowerFlex polymer core and T700 raw carbon fibre face provide a responsive combination of power, control, and quick hand speed, while the 45-degree peel-ply surface texture helps generate added spin.
Built with Franklin’s double-thermoformed unibody construction, the paddle is designed for strength, stability, and reduced vibration. The elongated 15.7-inch shape and 5.1-inch handle provide additional reach while maintaining a compact grip size, making it well suited to aggressive players who value fast exchanges and spin-heavy shots.
