Paddletek Bantam GTO-C

The tapered head design shifts the paddle's weight toward the top, which helps increase your swing speed and provides extra stability during contact. This makes it easier to generate power without sacrificing control.

The PT-700 raw carbon fiber face is textured to grab the ball more effectively upon impact. This gives you significantly more spin potential, which is ideal for hitting aggressive cuts or controlled drop shots.

The 12.7 mm core is thinner and geared toward players who prioritize maximum power and a quicker response. The 14.3 mm core is thicker, offering more forgiveness and a softer feel, which is better if you prefer a more controlled, stable game.

At 7.7 to 8.1 ounces, the GTO-C falls into the mid-weight range. It is balanced well for most players, providing enough mass to drive the ball while remaining maneuverable enough for quick exchanges at the net.

The QTR polymer core is designed for consistency and a distinct, loud pop. It provides a responsive feel that lets you know exactly where you hit the ball, making it a reliable choice for players who value feedback.

The handle length is 5.5 inches. This is a standard length that comfortably accommodates most players, including those who use a two-handed backhand.
