Paddletek Bantam GTO-C 14.3 Pickleball Paddle

Introducing the latest innovation in the Bantam Carbon Series — the Paddletek Bantam GTO-C, a new hybrid paddle engineered to offer a rare combination of length, width, power, and balance. Designed in Paddletek's Niles, Michigan lab and refined through extensive field testing, the GTO-C represents the pinnacle of shape and performance engineering. After testing 18 variations of head shapes, weight distributions, and balance points, we’ve created a paddle that delivers more swing weight power and twist weight control than our competitors’ heavier offerings — all at just 7.9 ounces. Key Features:

PT-700 Unidirectional Raw Carbon Fiber Hitting Surface - Maximum Spin and Durability
Bantam Quick Response Technology (QRT) Polymer Core - Paddletek's Cold-Pressed QRT core is our most powerful core technology that activates reliably and progressively with swing energy
Tapered Head Shape - Leads to a higher balance point, enlarged sweet spot and faster/more powerful hands at the net.
