Paddletek Bantam ESQ-C 12.7mm Pickleball Paddle

Designed to meet Andrea Koops powerful demands, the Paddletek Bantam ESQ-C 12.7mm Pickleball Paddle takes the technology and shape of the Tempest Wave Pro-C and packs it with a more powerful core and adds a longer 5.5″ tennis-inspired handle. At the center of this 7.7-ounce paddle lies the poppy and now well-trusted 12.7mm Bantam Polymer core. Now used across a majority of Paddleteks signature paddles, this core excels in the hands of a power player by offering an expanded sweet spot, returning energy to the ball through Quick Response Technology for pop, and eating up enough vibrations to limit fatigue during long matches.

The spin and control that the Paddletek Bantam ESQ-C 12.7mm Pickleball Paddle promises does lean on the bantam core, but really, its the PT-700 Unidirectional RAW Carbon Fiber hitting surface that makes it possible. This naturally textured surface is trusted throughout the industry for its long-lasting grit, impressive rigidity for dwell time, and its crispy and satisfying feel upon contact. The 5.5 puts a bow on this lethal paddle by enhancing swing speed on overhead slams and adding reach for staying alive in hand battles.

Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1/8″
