This is my second Bantam. With the power my new one has I can get backhand hits over the net which I often couldn't before. At the same time I have to be careful not to hit forehand drives long. As long as my aim is good I can hit a really fast shot with this.

Love my new paddle. It has a good pop off the surface.

Balanced feel, light enough to add weight and still be maneuverable at the NVZ.

This is an excellent paddle! I appreciate that it has a big sweet spot and is light. I find that I am able to hit the ball harder, because my paddle accelerates quickly. Also, I like the longer handle, because I have a two handed backhand. I highly recommend this pickleball paddle.

Moving from a pure control paddle to one that has both control and enough power is a game changer. I'm very much enjoying the ESQ-C. It's light enough that I can tweak it by adding a little weight. I'm a Paddletek convert.

Best paddle in the market hands down. Touch, spin, and control are elite. Pop and power at the kitchen are unmatched. Sweet spot is generous.

Super fast in hands! Low swing weight. Great power and pop. If you can hit the sweet spot on most shots then this may be the paddle for you. Legal top power!

I love this paddle. It took a few days to get used to it. Still dialing it in a bit, but it’s everything all the reviews said it would be. Power, pop, but still good control
