Paddletek Bantam ALW-C

This paddle is designed for competitive players who want a balanced performance. It works well for those who need enough power to drive the ball from the baseline but prioritize the touch and control required for resets and dinks at the net.

The 14.3mm thickness is a 'middle-of-the-road' specification that provides a stable, predictable feel. It offers more feedback and control than thinner, power-focused paddles, while still providing enough pop to put away overheads.

Yes. The PT-700 Unidirectional Raw Carbon Fiber face is textured to grip the ball upon contact. This helps you generate more topspin on drives and creates a more consistent, predictable response across the entire surface of the paddle.

The handle length is 5.25 inches, which is considered a standard length. It is comfortable for players who use a traditional grip and provides enough room for most players to comfortably fit their hand without feeling cramped.

At 7.65 oz, this is a relatively lightweight paddle. This makes it highly maneuverable, allowing for quick hand speed during fast-paced exchanges at the net, though some players who prefer a heavier, more 'plow-through' feel might find it slightly light.
