Product Insights & Style Tips
Unleash court-wide swagger with the Bantam GTO-C 12.7's sleek hybrid silhouette and head-biased balance. You swing faster, strike harder, and own every zone without compromise. A PT-700 unidirectional raw carbon face meets Bantam Quick Response honeycomb core, wrapped in a perimeter twist-weight system and a shock-absorbing edge guard. Cold-pressed and handcrafted in Michigan, this paddle feels refined, precise, and ready for the fiercest rallies.
On court, it sits in the hand with a forgiving yet punchy offset. Weight range 7.7 to 8.1 ounces keeps it nimble while offering feel in power shots. The grip is 4 1/4 inches with a 5 1/4 inch grip length and 14 millimeter thickness, while Phoenix PolyCore cushions impact and supports spin. It responds to fast nets, heavy drives, and versatile drop shots, letting you adapt from baseline exchanges to transition plays with ease.
Gen 1 precision and a distinctly performance-forward ethos mark Paddletek's approach, with this Bantam paddle leaning into personality as much as power. Handcrafted in Michigan, it pairs carbon face tech with core details that signal serious paddle culture.
