Franklin C45 Aurelius ALW 14mm Pickleball Paddle – Anna Leigh Waters Signature

The Perfect Balance of Power & Control

The Franklin C45 Aurelius ALW 14mm Pickleball Paddle is the sweet-spot choice in Anna Leigh Waters' signature Aurelius lineup. At 14mm, this paddle sits right in the middle of the range — delivering a versatile blend of power and touch that makes it the go-to option for a wide range of playing styles.

The 14mm core thickness is the most popular choice among competitive players for good reason. It offers a balanced feel — enough pop for aggressive drives and enough dampening for precise dinks and resets. The Aurelius elongated paddle shape gives you extended reach on wide balls and a generous sweet spot that rewards consistent contact. Franklin's proprietary C45 carbon fiber surface provides exceptional spin generation and a textured, consistent feel on every shot.
