Paddle SPECS


Paddle technology

DOUBLE THERMOFORMED

The C45° is constructed using a double thermoforming process. This process helps to ensure the integrity of the paddle by enhancing the structure not once, but twice. This brings strength to the unibody design and helps reduce vibration.

45° CARBON SURFACE

 The T700 Carbon Fiber is applied as a peel ply texture at a 45° angle. T700 creates a naturally textured surface and laying it at a 45° angle provides a true, consistent texture throughout the entire paddle face, maximizing spin potential.

POWERFLEX™

Our special PowerFlex™ core is crafted with precision to keep our core fully intact. The premium inner foam layer gives players incredible pop on the court while also providing the paddle with superb structural integrity.
