Swag x Paddletek BANTAM EX-L Pickleball Paddle

At 8.3 to 8.7 ounces, this is considered a mid-to-heavyweight paddle. This extra mass provides more stability and power behind your shots, making it easier to drive the ball deep, though it may feel slightly less maneuverable at the net compared to lighter models.

The textured surface creates more friction upon contact with the ball. This allows you to generate more spin on your serves and drives, giving you better control over the ball's trajectory and placement.

With a power rating of 9.5 out of 10, this paddle is engineered primarily for aggressive play. While it maintains a respectable 8/10 control rating, it is best for players who want to dictate the pace of the game with explosive shots.

The grip circumference is 4.375 inches, which is a standard size that fits most adult players comfortably. If you prefer a thicker handle, you can easily add an overgrip to increase the circumference.

The high-grade polymer composite honeycomb core is designed to absorb vibration and provide a consistent, responsive feel across the entire face. It balances the need for a solid, powerful hit with enough feedback to help you feel where the ball is making contact.
