Summary
The Paddletek Bantam TKO-CX 14.3mm is an elongated paddle with a 14.3mm polypropylene honeycomb core. Carbon fiber makes up the paddle face. This combination of materials may offer a balance of power and control. The paddle weighs 8 ounces and has a 5.75-inch grip length, slightly longer than the standard grip, which could be beneficial for players using a two-handed backhand. Its swing weight is 122, placing it in the high range. This higher swing weight may contribute to increased power but could also reduce maneuverability for some. The twist weight is 6.38. With high spin (2155 RPM), drive speed (55.3 MPH), and volley speed (35.6 MPH) ratings, this paddle might be suited for intermediate to advanced players who prioritize an aggressive playing style. The elongated shape could offer a larger sweet spot.
