Weight ranging from 7.2oz - 8.1oz depending upon thickness.

This process is exceptional because it helps to fully enhance the structural integrity of the paddle while reducing vibration to a degree that sets it apart from competitor paddles. Each paddle is constructed with a large inner foam channel that allows the C45° to stay structurally sound while also keeping the polymer core intact to preserve long-lasting premium performance!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlayers will feel the incredible pop coming from the paddle but also feel fully in control. The carbon fiber surface layer is applied as a 45 degree peel ply texture which provides a superior amount of grit and spin right off the surface, giving players an incredible amount of power and speed right off the paddle. This process maximizes grip and unlocks spin potential so players can control the additional core power without sacrificing precision. We've taken our paddle engineering to new heights, and the results speak for themselves. If you’re ready to enhance your game, be sure to grab the C45° today and we'll see you on the court!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfessional Paddle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned and constructed to perform at the highest levels of pickleball, the C45 Aurelius features the official shape of pro pickleball phenom Anna Leigh Waters and is built for players looking to take their game to the next level.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnrivaled Strength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe C45 paddle is constructed using a double thermoforming process designed to maximize the integrity of the paddle by enhancing the structure — not once, but twice — which increases the strength of the unibody design and helps to reduce vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e45 Degree Carbon Surface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe T700 Carbon Fiber peel ply texture is applied at a 45 degree angle to provide a natural, consistent texture throughout the entire paddle face, which maximizes grit and spin potential and allows players to increase shot precision and control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowerFlex™ Core\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur special PowerFlex™ (12.7mm, 14mm and 16mm) polymer core is crafted with premium precision and an inner foam layer that gives players extra pop on their shots while also providing the paddle with additional structural integrity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSAP\/UPA Approved\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis paddle has been approved by USAP\/UPA for competitive and tournament play.
