More context
The longer answer.

Sourced
His own quote on Franklin India's undated C45 page, which lists JW and Jorja Johnson as Franklin players and so predates 2026. Pickleball Effect's April 20, 2025 write-up describes the same setup. It describes the C45, not his current C45 Dynasty 16MM, so it is kept as an earlier setup.
