Paddletek: Got 14.3 TKO Long Handle In Blue Color on face. Hit killer overheads. Has great touch and control. Drives like a beast. Selling my 16mm Joola Pro IV's. I will never buy another 16mm paddle. Planning to buy this same paddle in the 12.7 thickness. I 'm keeping my 14 Pro Joola"s though
Best paddle for 4.5+ and pro's!: Totally amazing paddle for advanced folks. I got 14.3 shipped by mistake instead of 12.7mm. So I played with both thicknesses. I stuck to 12.7 but 14.3 is better for doubles and for more subtle dinks. I got the 8 oz and added more weight (over 9 oz.) Power off this paddle is so intoxicating that I don't want to hit any dinks!!! Perfect for singles! Please don't buy this one (less competition for me... haha).
The Bantam TKO-C is by far the best paddle ever made by Paddletek. It has tons of power and spin, but since it's not thermoformed, it balances them with control and forgiveness. It also won't have the core crushing issues that plagued Gen 3 power paddles. If you're an intermediate or advanced player who wants a powerful all-court paddle, give the TKO-C a look if you've got $250 to spend.
