It has a raw T700 carbon face with fibers at 45 degrees, a 16 mm PowerFlex core with a double-foam perimeter, and double-thermoformed construction. It measures 16.4 x 7.6 inches, has a 5.6-inch handle and a 4.3 grip. It is light for an elongated paddle, averaging 7.7 oz, but has a swing weight of 116, which maintains stability and ball exit. The 16 mm core makes the touch more controlled than the 14 mm's.

A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy. ## Videos Franklin C45 Dynasty 16mm Review: Has modern tech left it behind?
