Summary

The Paddletek Bantam TKO-CX 14.3 is an elongated paddle with a 14.3mm polypropylene honeycomb core. This core material is known for its balance of power and control. The paddle features a carbon fiber face, often associated with control and feel. Weighing 8 ounces with a 5.75-inch grip, it may suit players who prefer a lighter paddle with added grip length, potentially beneficial for two-handed backhands. The swing weight of 123 is considered high and may provide more power, though it could require more effort to swing. The 7.225 twist weight suggests good stability on off-center hits. The elongated shape could offer a larger sweet spot. With a spin of 2045 RPM and a high spin rating (7.9/10), this paddle may be suitable for players who prioritize spin generation. The high swing weight percentile (92nd) reinforces its potential for power, while the high twist weight percentile (94th) indicates excellent stability. This paddle might be best suited for intermediate to advanced players looking for a balance of power, control, and spin.
