Bantam ESQ-C 14.3
Widebody14mmGen 1
The Paddletek Bantam ESQ-C 14.3 is a 14 mm widebody pickleball paddle. It generates elite spin (80th percentile) with below-average power and well above-average pop. It has a light, maneuverable swing weight built for quick hands at the net, plus well above-average twist weight for strong off-center forgiveness. Overall it's a control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
