Franklin C45
Specs Recap
Where this paddle fits
Factory fit: Banger. The C45's 9.24-inch stock balance is 56.69% of its 16.30-inch length. This paddle's stock balance sits in DinkFlow's drive-first doubles window. At 7.5 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.
