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 more forgiving 14.3mm Bantam core to give serious players controllable 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 – Paddletek was not going to put out a Raw Carbon Fiber paddle until they could source it in the US. The quality and consistency of the paddle surface is extraordinary to boost linger time and impart spin.
- 14.3mm Bantam Polymer Honeycomb Core – At .5.63-inches thick, the core absorbs more of the balls impact, allowing longer linger time and more consistent placement of your shots.
- 5.8" Long Handle, Elongated Shape – Adding plenty of room for two-handed shots with the handle, the paddle also allows you to extend your reach with an elongated shape
