Overview
The Bantam TKO-C 12.7 is a collaborative effort between Paddletek and top professional player Christian Alshon. In no uncertain terms, Christian demands a paddle with a focus on power, spin and reach. And after much R&D Christian got the result he needed to be most effective from every part of the court. Responsive pop and power is sourced from a combination of its lively 12.7mm Polypropylene Honeycomb Core along with the hybrid base layer of Toray Raw Carbon Fiber and high grade Glass Epoxy, which encases the core on either side. Unidirectional Carbon Fiber Strands are then blended to the base layer, which is responsive, long lasting and makes producing topspin and slice on the ball extremely easy. Additional power and reach is afforded by the 16.5 inch overall length of the TKO-C 12.7’s elongated design. And to further enhance the versatility of this paddle, Paddletek offers it in a range of weight from 7.8 – 8.1 oz. for more agility, stability or a blend of both. Intermediate to advanced players, who prefer an all-court paddle loaded with power, great spin potential along with the extra reach an elongated shape provides, will want to seriously consider the Paddletek Bantam TKO-C 12.7.
