The Paddletek Bantam ESQ-C 14.3mm is a standard-shape pickleball paddle with a Bantam polymer honeycomb core. It is the thicker, more controllable of the two paddles made with Andrea Koop, with precision and spin and enough pop for any opponent. It is more of an all-court paddle than a pure control tool, in the standard shape, with a raw carbon surface, a long 5.5 in handle and a dampened 14.3 mm core. It weighs 7.7 oz.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%63
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.
