THE PADDLE SERIES TRUSTED BY THE #1 PLAYER IN THE WORLD

Franklin Sports continues to raise the bar in competitive pickleball with the all-new C45° Aurelius™ Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle. Designed for elite performance, the C45° Aurelius™ is offered in three thicknesses—12.7mm, 14mm, and 16mm—and features a PowerFlex™ polymer core that delivers a dynamic balance of power, control, and feel.

Built with a traditional 5.1-inch handle and a 3.9-inch handle circumference, the paddle provides a familiar, confidence-inspiring grip. Weight ranges from 7.2oz to 8.0oz depending on thickness, allowing players to fine-tune balance and responsiveness to match their game.

At the core of the C45° Aurelius™ is Franklin’s advanced double thermoformed unibody construction. This process enhances structural integrity while significantly reducing vibration, resulting in a solid, stable feel that sets it apart from traditional paddle builds. An enlarged inner foam channel further reinforces the paddle’s structure and helps preserve the polymer core, ensuring consistent performance over time.

The carbon fiber surface features a 45-degree peel ply texture engineered to maximize grip and unlock spin potential directly off the face. The result is explosive pop when you need it, paired with precise control when placement matters most. Players will immediately feel the added power while maintaining confidence through every shot.

The C45° Aurelius™ represents the next evolution of Franklin paddle engineering and is purpose-built for players who demand uncompromising performance. If you are ready to elevate your game, the C45° Aurelius™ is ready for the court.

Comfortable Cotton-Linen Shorts, True to Size and Breathable
Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large
These shorts are lightweight, comfortable, and have a relaxed fit that works well for casual summer wear. A size large is my usual size, and these fit as expected with no tight spots and no baggy crotch area. The 7‑inch inseam falls just above my knee and allows easy movement when sitting, walking, or bending. The fabric has a soft, linen‑like feel without being rough, and it is thin and breathable, which helps in hot weather. Because the material is on the thin side, I am glad I chose black; with a lighter color like white, I would be a little concerned about show‑through. The overall look is casual with a slight beachwear vibe from the drawstring and natural wrinkles. The elastic waistband is comfortable, and the drawstring goes all the way around the waist and can actually cinch for a more secure fit. There are two full‑size front pockets plus one open back pocket. The fabric content was not listed on the garment itself, so I am relying on the product description. After washing, there was no noticeable shrinkage. I air‑dried them and there were some wrinkles, so light ironing may be needed if you prefer a smoother look. For casual wear around the house, at the beach, for travel, or everyday errands, they offer good value.

Comfortable, Lightweight, and Perfect for Summer
I got these shorts for my husband, and he loves them. The cotton-linen blend is lightweight and breathable, making them perfect for hot weather, vacations, or just relaxing on the weekends. The elastic waistband and drawstring provide a comfortable fit, and the 7-inch inseam is a great length—not too short and not too long. They look casual but still put together, and the pockets are a nice bonus. They washed well and held their shape nicely. Overall, these are stylish, comfortable summer shorts that my husband reaches for often. Great value for the price!

Very comfortable and cool shorts
Color: Black, Size: Medium, Color: Black, Size: Medium
These cotton linen summer shorts are definitely "casual" shorts. Great for around the house, the beach, or hiking. I would not wear them out on a dinner date as they wrinkle quite easily. They are well made and comfortable. The stitching is nice and tight and there are no loose threads, so I feel they are durable. The Medium size was slightly snug, yet comfortable. The sizing chart recommended that I get Large and I think they would have fit better. These shorts are lightweight and keep you nice and cool. I do like that the back pocket has a button to help secure your wallet. The black color looks good with just about anything. I have a couple of very minor issues, but worth mentioning. The drawstring seems excessively long to me and gets tangled in the wash. Not a major concern, but slightly annoying. The other issue is the button and zipper. These shorts have a sturdy waist band as well as a drawstring, so why have a button and zipper? Possibly for aesthetic purposes? Overall, these are comfortable shorts that fit well and look good for casual shorts. They will keep you nice and cool. For the price, they are a good buy.

Nice cotton summer shorts with a touch of linen
Color: Coffee, Size: Medium, Color: Coffee, Size: Medium
These are a nice addition to my summer short wardrobe. They add a different look and texture than most of my shorts that are cotton. The addition of linen adds a nice texture to them and you can tell they are visibly unique. I ordered these in a medium and I think they are true to size. The have an elastic top instead of a button/zipper. I'm o.k. with it and they are nice to just throw on. I'm not a fan of the string around the waist. My first picture has it hanging down and I quickly removed it...not needed with the elastic band holding up the shorts. I guess it could be a fashion statement if you wanted it to be. The shorts are very light weight and I can see using them in the hotter months that are approaching. Price point is great!

Comfortable shorts!
Color: Black, Size: Large
I ordered these because I wanted some lightweight comfortable shorts for the summer that were now gym shorts. These are very comfortable shorts. Lightweight cotton material that is not stretchy and it breathes well. The size fits exactly as expected according to the measurements. They also have an elastic waistband with drawstring, but also have a button and zipper, which I found odd, but don’t hate. These shorts have two big pockets in the front, large enough for keys and a cell phone. Deep enough to put your entire hand in. The single back pocket is perfect sized for a wallet, and it has a button that secures the pocket, so no losing the wallet in the movie theater or restaurant. The color is a true black, which I’m sure will fade in the future after many washes, but for now, it is dark and black, not like some that look more navy blue than black. The stitching is also done well. These are probably my new favorite pair of shorts that are comfy able enough to wear around the house when just lounging, but also nice enough to wear out to dinner. Well worth the price, will probably buy another pair in a different color soon.
