I play Pickleball 5 days a week so I bought two paddles so I could alternate paddles. I have been playing Paddletek for the last 2 years and love the feel. Also want a product MADE IN THE USA. Traded my two used ones for new ones. Can definitely feel the difference. Love your products.

I absolutely love everything about my paddle. After a few times of use, it did get a couple of snags on the paddle face. I contacted the company. And they sent me a new one, very good customer service.!! I’m hoping the new paddle does not do that.

I have the 12.7mm version. It’s a great paddle for offensive players—fast, powerful, and aggressive. The sweet spot is a bit small, though, so I wouldn’t recommend it for beginners.

I overgripped it with Paddletek overgrip and I added 3 grams of weight to each side in the middle of the paddle. The paddle is very stable and predictable na dhas good explosive power when needed but had really good control.

Love it! I have been using this paddle multiple times a week since buying it. It has a really nice grip and delivers power whilst remaining lightweight.

Wanted to replace my Proton with the paddle. Noticed power off the serve is a bit slower as well with over head slams.

This is my 2nd TKO-C 12.7mm Fire Ref paddle. I ordered it as a replacement for my first, while it was receiving a new edge-guard. Of all the paddles I have and use, it is my go to paddle. The TKO- C 12.7mm, with its feel and power, instills confidence to make every shot whenever needed….it’s the best!

Love the thickness and lightweight of the paddle, allows you to easily generate power in order to pick up good ball speed, and allows for easier dinks

Hands down, the Bantam TKO-C is the best all-around paddlecreated. It’s hard to imagine a 12.7 capable of great off the paddle outstanding control. This is what American craftsmanship produces! My game and Pickleball pleasure salutes you, paddle tech team!

I've own this balance since August of 2025. The paddle has good power, but the standard grip is a bit thick and the thin grip is too thin. I also own a Tempest Reign V3. Since both paddles are elongated, they're both top heavy. I moved weighted tape all over both paddles trying to get the right balance. I ended up replacing the grip with an aftermarket grip (on both paddles) and during the replacement, I added weighted tape to the handle. The balance came right in and woke the sweet spot up. So with a bit of modifications, this paddle performs wonderfully.

We both love our Bantam TKO and GTO paddles. Used them a couple of Rex play sessions and then took Gold at our first tournament.
