Widebody14.3mmGen-1Cold Pressed
The PaddleTek Tempest TKO-C is a 14.3 mm widebody pickleball paddle with a cold pressed, Toray Carbon Fiber & Fiberglass face. It generates well above-average spin (72th percentile) with well above-average power and pop. It has a heavier, head-leaning swing weight that favors power and plow-through over hand speed, plus above-average twist weight for strong off-center forgiveness. Overall it's a versatile all-court profile.
