Franklin C45 Tempo
Specs Recap
Where this paddle fits
Factory fit: Banger / Singles Power boundary. The C45 Tempo's 9.10-inch stock balance is 57.49% of its 15.83-inch length. This paddle sits near the boundary between DinkFlow target windows. Its primary tuning reference is Banger, based on the nearest target center. At 7.8 oz it is a lighter static weight that favors fast hands over plow-through, with a thinner core that transmits feedback faster on counters and put-aways.
↓ lowers stock balance (handle weight near the butt cap). ↑ raises stock balance (head weight at 12 o'clock). Distances assume the simplest single-position shift; real placements vary, and the DinkFlow Paddle Tuner simulates lead tape and counterweight changes against this exact spec.
