Paddletek Bantam TKO-C Pickleball Paddle
Overview
The Paddletek Bantam TKO-C 14.3 is the result of a collaborative effort from both Paddletek, and top professional player Christian Alshon. Both the TKO-C paddles share the same technologies, with the exception of the thicker Polypropylene Honeycomb Core of the TKO-C 14.3, which dials a player in to more core based precision rather than 12.7's core power. Countering core control with responsive power is a hybrid surface of Toray 700 Raw Carbon Fiber and Glass Epoxy. In addition, an outer layer of Uni-Directional Raw Carbon strands is applied and rewards a player with crisp feel and long lasting spin potential. The TKO-C's elongated 16.5 in. overall paddle length further enhances power and reach, with a standard 5.25 in handle being just long enough to command play using one or two hands. To maximize versatility, the TKO-C 14.3 is available from 7.8 - 8.1 ounces, which allows the option for either a higher degree of maneuverability or stability. Performance wise, the TKO-C 14.3 supplies controlled power from the baseline and really shines bright, in terms of obedient precision near the mid-ourt and kitchen. Whether you are a recreational, or world class player, who prefers an elongated paddle shape, loaded with realistic power, along with easy access to spin, the Paddletek Bantam TKO-C 14.3 delivers that and more!
