The Bantam TKO-C is Paddletek's power paddle, elongated and with a PT-700 unidirectional carbon face. The 14.3 mm Bantam QRT polymer core activates progressively with swing force, and a PT-07 stabilizing layer helps with power delivery. It measures 16.5 x 7.5 inches, has a 5.25 inch handle and a weight of 7.7 to 8.1 oz, with a carbon steel weight system that increases the twist weight. It is not thermoformed, which makes the feel more predictable.

Specs65%58
Approval from players35%65

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. 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.
