Franklin C45 Tempo
Our take on the Franklin C45 Tempo
This is a great paddle for players who prefer to play a patient style and rely on resets and moving dinks around to win points. We felt like we would rarely miss a third-shot drop or reset in the transition zone with this paddle, but it still provided good pop in hands battles and enough putaway power to end a point when there was a good opportunity.

How We Tested
Our paddle reviewers (all 5.0+ players) work with other high-level players in their area to test paddles on a variety of shots. This testing involves several hours of drills and games in an effort to determine how the paddle impacts performance in real-world scenarios.
We use the Life Time LT Pro 48 pickleball for our testing.
