Bantam TKO-C 14.3

The Paddletek Bantam TKO-C 14.3 is an elongated paddle with a 14.3mm polypropylene honeycomb core. Polypropylene cores are known for their blend of power and control. The paddle features a carbon fiber face, often associated with control and feel. Weighing 7.8 oz with a 5.25-inch grip, it falls into the midweight category. Its swing weight of 118 is considered high, potentially providing more power but requiring more effort to swing. The 16.5-inch length and 7.5-inch width could offer a larger sweet spot. This paddle may be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a balance of power and control. The high swing weight and drive speed (55.7 mph) suggest potential for powerful drives. The carbon fiber face and moderate core thickness may provide good control for volleys (35.9 mph) and spin generation (2073 RPM). The twist weight of 6.5 may offer moderate stability on off-center hits. Players looking for a lighter, more maneuverable paddle might find this model less suitable.
