Help in deciding the pickleball paddle. Experience with the new paddles: My wife and I love out new Bantam TS-5 paddles. They are much better than the old paddles we had. Thomas was very helpful by showing two other possibilities. After that we were sure we would like what we got.

Love this paddle!: I'm going for a slightly heavier paddle next, but this is an excellent choice overall if around 7.3 oz is right for you.

While this is an elite choice for newcomers (I even named it my top beginner paddle in 2023), I don't think it has enough to tempt more advanced players. Once you hit the intermediate level, you'll want enough spin and power to help you play a more aggressive game, and the Bantam TS-5 doesn't have that. That said, it does have better quality materials, more forgiveness, and superior control than other beginner paddles—plus an endorsement from ALW herself. This puts it above and beyond other p...

Paddletek Bantam TS-5: Best lightweight paddle. Older player, easier on shoulders and very maneuverable when playing at net. Always purchase paddles and shoes from Pickleball Central. Great company.

Bantam TS5: I needed a light weight paddle, was using the Wave and liked it, so stuck with Paddletek, and selected the 7.0 TS5. Not used it enough to know if love it , but definitely like how quickly it can be moved in my hands to a new position. It is easier to hit balls down at people’s feet than the other paddles I have used. Am hoping when I learn all its secrets , it will be an awesome paddle for all occassions.

Not for me: I really enjoy Paddletek paddles. This one was just too light for me so I had to return. Probably end up buying the Tempest Wave Pro.... again : ))

Bantam TS-5 Yellow Horizon Review: I'm very pleased with this purhase. I've only been playing this sport for approximately six months, and this is the first professional quality paddle that I have purchased. I've been very pleased with the entire experience from the purchasing process, through the receiving process, to the actually using the paddle. The paddle is very comfortable and the grip is amazing. Even though I've only had the paddle a couple of weeks, I would buy it again without hesitat

Good paddle!: I like the power shots with this paddle. The handle is a little on the short side so make sure you measure. Perfect for my small hands but a little shorter than my old one. Good quality and love the purple!

Light and great touch: After I saw ALW playing with this, I had to have it. I am an older guy and she’s a 15-year-old girl, but I still wanted to try it. It did not disappoint. Reaction time and touch are just sublime. I use the prince response pro in some situations, but I really enjoy this bantam paddle, and the price is pretty good. Overall I can’t complain, and I get good power up the lines

Purchased for My Wife (Petite): This paddle made an immediate improvement and enjoyment in her play over her amazon paddle. Not knocking amazon paddles to get people started and they are very affordable. But with this paddle had markedly improvement in her serves and returns.

Bantam TS-5 blue riptide: This paddle is lightweight and has a small grip which fits my hand nicely. I really like it much better than my old paddle which was a bit heavier. I’m a beginner but I expect to use this paddle for quite some time.

TS-5: Paddle is lighter than my Head paddle. Took awhile to adjust but, this paddle has a little more control then the Head paddle. Need to swing a little harder for a power hit but, overall I think this paddle has a little more control than my Head paddle.
