Franklin C45 Aurelius ALW 12.7mm Pickleball Paddle – Anna Leigh Waters Signature

Play Like a Champion — The Paddle Anna Leigh Waters Trusts

The Franklin C45 Aurelius ALW 12.7mm Pickleball Paddle is the signature paddle of Anna Leigh Waters, the #1-ranked professional pickleball player in the world. Engineered for elite-level play, the Aurelius shape delivers a precision-tuned blend of power, control, and feel that serious players demand.

At 12.7mm, this is the thinnest and most powerful of the Aurelius lineup. The slimmer core generates a livelier, more explosive response off the face — ideal for aggressive baseliners and players who want maximum pop on drives and resets. Franklin's proprietary C45 carbon fiber surface delivers exceptional spin generation and a consistent, textured feel.
