This is the thin-core version, with a 12.7 mm Bantam honeycomb polymer, which makes the paddle more explosive. The face is PT-700 unidirectional raw carbon, and the length of 16.45 inches, with a 7.5 width, increases head speed at impact. It has a 5.3 inch handle, a 4 1/4 circumference and a weight of 7.7 to 8.1 oz. It is made in the USA and has the USAP seal. Price shown at the store This store only shows the price on its own site.

A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy. ## Videos Day 1 with the Mark OneX & Paddletek Bantam TKO-C 12.7MM (Alshon signature) Pickleball Tech Dude · in English Videos from independent channels, shown for reference only.
