The Paddletek Bantam TKO-CX (XL handle) was designed in conjunction with top pickleball pro, Christian Alshon, to provide a combination of power, spin, and reach. PT-700 unidirectional RAW carbon fiber is combined with Paddletek's legendary 12.7mm Bantam core to give serious players max power and spin capability. A 5.75” handle reduces wind drag and allows for a two-handed backhand, while a 16.5" overall paddle length increases speed at the point of contact, exponentially increasing power with every hit.

FEATURES
- PT-700 Unidirectional RAW Carbon Fiber Hitting Surface – Like all the new Bantam-C and Tempest-C paddles, this adds Raw Carbon Fiber and Peel Ply Texture, and the spin that comes with it, to a US-made paddle.
- 12.7mm Bantam Polymer Honeycomb Core – The core style and thickness double down on power for players who stay on the attack.
- 5.8" Long Handle, Elongated Shape – The long handle has multiple affects on the paddle. It adds flex and moves the sweet spot even higher on the face to rocket the ball off the paddle face. It also gives ample room for two-handed play.
