Paddletek Bantam TS-5 Pickleball Paddle | Professional Pickleball Paddles with Honeycomb Core, Textured Fiberglass Epoxy Hybrid Surface, Bantam PolyCore & High Tack Performance Grip | USAPA Approved

Love this paddle. Very light and the handle is short. I used a Typhoon that I loved but I feel this one is better for my grip. The lime green color is fabulous and the price $99 is good. Highly recommend.

I love the honeycomb build on a pickleball paddle. For me graphite paddles have too much vibration up the arm. This paddle is light, looks good and a good cost. Grip is the right size and it is very durable.

I'm an intermediate player and wanted to get a paddle that would grow with me, but not break the bank since I play for fun. (Let's face it, I'm never going to be a 5.0 player!) It's made a difference in my game (I used to play the with a cheap paddle from the Y) and I've been using it now for almost 10 months and it's held up great.

I have been using this paddle for about 5 months now. I like the weight and feel. It plays OK. Not much help for spin if you like to play spin. I do like the touch for drinks. Unfortunately the handle broke during regular play. At this price and this company I expect a paddle to last longer than 5 months. I've contacted the company to see how they honor their warranty. I'll update if they reach back.UPDATE: After reaching out to the company via email, they responded and asked for pictures of the break. Less than a week later I have a new paddle in hand. I have updated my rating considering th excellent customer service and value represented.I'd recommend this company.

I love my new paddle. It adds power and control to my game.

Great paddle! My wife had the previous version and wore it out (it gets dead spots in it after a couple years of play).This new version is graphically different, but it still kicks butt on the courts and it is a lot lighter than other similar paddles.

Wow… I had been playing with an Onix Z5 paddle thinking I needed a mid-weight paddle to be able to hit drives with power. I had been reading however, that for players over 60, to prevent injuries that a light-weight paddle would be best. When I first picked it up I was thinking this is not going to work, it is too light. I literally was amazed at the control and power I have with this paddle, and it is not putting any pressure on my body at all. Kudos to Paddletek, I am impressed. Highly recommend.

Paddle grip was thin & caused blister on my thumb from rubbing on the ridge under the grip tape. Paddle took a little getting used to, but has proven to be a top level paddle improving my game with placement, finesse, & power shots. Light weight hasn’t bothered my elbow as much as previous paddle’s have. Bonus … It’s Purple!!!
