Summary
The Paddletek Bantam TKO-C 12.7 is an elongated paddle with a 12.7mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. The combination of core and face materials may offer a balance of power and control. Its elongated shape could provide a larger sweet spot. Weighing 8 ounces with a 5.25-inch grip, it falls into the mid-weight category. The swing weight is 113, considered medium, and may suit players seeking a blend of maneuverability and power. The 4.25-inch grip circumference may be suitable for players with smaller hands. With a spin of 2074 RPM, drive speed of 55.4 MPH, and volley speed of 36.4 MPH, this paddle may appeal to players who prioritize a combination of spin, power, and quick volleys. The twist weight of 6.47 may offer moderate stability on off-center hits. This paddle's specifications could make it suitable for intermediate to advanced players looking for an all-court paddle with a slight emphasis on power and pop. A potential limitation could be the shorter grip length for players who prefer two-handed backhands.
