Paddletek Bantam ESQ-C Pickleball Paddle
Overview
Paddletek’s Bantam ESQ-C pickleball paddle provides the agility of a compact shape with a handle long enough to control the action with one or two hands on the paddle. The 15.82” x 7.75” shape of the Bantam ESQ-C is available in a range of weight from 7.6 – 7.9 ounces, for additional paddle maneuverability or stability. And as mentioned, the Bantam ESQ-C's feature a 5.5 inch handle length. At the core of the ESQ-C is the option of either a higher powered 12.7mm or more precision-oriented 14.3mm PolyCore w/QuickResponse Technology. Together with Paddletek's use of premium PT-700 RAW Carbon Fiber for the ESQ-C's hitting surfaces, yields a crisp, pinpoint response along with exceptional spin potential. Regardless of skill level, the Paddletek Bantam ESQ-C paddles is easy to swing from the baseline, providing good pop on serves, returns and groundstrokes and is even more adept in terms of precision near the kitchen.
