The Bantam TKO-C was designed in conjunction with top pickleball pro, Christian Alshon, to provide a combination of power, spin, and reach. PT-700 unidirectional RAW carbon fiber is combined with our legendary 12.7mm Bantam core to give serious players max power and spin capability, and with our more forgiving 14.3mm Bantam core to give serious players controllable power and max spin capability. A 16 1⁄2 " overall paddle length increases speed at the point of contact—exponentially increasing power with every hit.
Weight specifications will be within 1/10th of an ounce.

Excellent power and pop for single play. The 12.7 doesn’t have the plushness of a 16 mm but the pop compensate in the speed ups and blocks at the kitchen. Some dead spots at the tip and sides but manageable.
