It keeps the length of 16.45 inches and the width of 7.5, but the handle grows to 5.8 inches, ideal for a two-handed backhand. The face is PT-700 unidirectional raw carbon and the core is 14.3 mm Bantam honeycomb polymer, more balanced between power and control than the 12.7 mm. It weighs 7.7 to 8.1 oz, with a 4 1/4 circumference, and is made in the USA. 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 The Best Power Paddles Right Now | PaddleTek TKO CX Review + Giveaway Pickleball Pursuit · in English PaddleTek Bantam TKO & ALW-C Review | More Exciting Than You Think Pickleball Studio · in English Videos from independent channels, shown for reference only.
