    • Really nice paddle. Real nice
Color: Fire Red
Review Image by Amazon Customer Amazon Customer
There's just something special about holding a high-quality Pickleball paddle. Even if you know nothing about Pickleball or know about Pickleball but know nothing about the particular company that made your paddle… It doesn't matter. When it's a high-quality pickle ball paddle you can tell immediately by how it feels I think it's kind of exclusive to pickle ball. It's just in the way the paddles are made. And this one feels as high-quality and ultra elite anything I've ever held They didn't really give it ceremony is sent off when they shipped it out though. It was just put in like a plastic bag and inside a box. Seems like you're such a high-quality high-end Uber elite piece of sports equipment it should come with some sort of a carrying case and some accessories and maybe… I don't know… Packaging? I found it just kind of weird but I'm assuming it's just because it's still relatively new We shall see though All I know is this is a really nice paddle. I think it's capable of giving JOOLA paddles a run for their money but I don't think it's better than them yet I think it's pretty tough to beat them but you do have a few contenders and this just might be one of them. Regardless it's a nice light paddle with good grey face and looks cool, gets noticed, gets compliments, people ask if they can hold it and see it and play with it etc. Fun fact: if you try to make jokes when somebody asks if they can see it, or hold it, or play with it you will most likely be asked to leave the Pickleball court. Sometimes by people that aren't even playing pickle ball 😆 just kidding I wouldn't know. 😗 ... show more

Paddletek Bantam GTO-C 14.3mm Hybrid Pickleball Paddle – Raw Carbon Fiber Face – Aerodynamic Tapered Shape – Polymer Core – 16.25" x 7.75" – 5.5” Handle – UPA-A & PBCoR .43 Certified – Made in USA I was so excited when I received this pickleball paddle—it’s absolutely gorgeous and incredibly lightweight! The handle fits my hand perfectly, and even with just a few practice swings, I could tell it was going to feel amazing on the court. I first tried pickleball last year using borrowed paddles, but after an injury, I had to take a break. Now that I’m ready to jump back in, I wanted gear that would inspire confidence—and this paddle does exactly that. It feels so much better than the ones I used before: sleek, balanced, and easy to maneuver. Even though I’m still learning, the GTO-C makes me feel like I’m already leveling up. The raw carbon fiber face will give me great control and spin, while the polymer core offers a nice pop without being too aggressive. It’s lightweight but solid, and the aerodynamic tapered shape makes it easy to react quickly at the net. I also love that it’s made in the USA and certified for tournament play. That tells me it’s built with care and quality—and it’s ready to grow with me as I improve. Whether you’re just starting out or already a seasoned player, this paddle is a fantastic investment. I’m raring to go, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! ... show more

    • Paddletek 14.3
Color: Ocean Blue
I have both the 12.7and the 14.3. The 12.7 has insane power but I prefer the 14.3 because when going against better players they attacked my 12.3 and the rebound off my paddle was uncontrollable. The 14.3 allowed me to absorb their attacks and use their energy against them. Great paddle for my game.

    • Husband gives it two thumbs up!
Color: Ocean Blue
Awesome paddle! Got this for my husband who plays pickleball often with his buddies. He says he loves it and that its a high quality paddle. He has only used it twice but says it has great control and spin, and some power behind it. His hits felt more accurate and he feels he performed better than with his other paddle. He says it has a nice grip, its easy to handle, and very lightweight. He likes the design of it, and its his favorite colors blue and black. It came packaged well and intact, no scratches or imperfections. Its the size he prefers to play with and th handle length is perfect for comfortably holding it in his hand. Its well made, solid and durable, just really nice all around. He has no complaints, he is satisfied and plans of using this paddle often. He would recommend it and says its worth the price. ... show more

First, I would like to disclose that I am newer to the sport and may not know all the correct terminology. However, this paddle is fantastic. I have GTO-C in two thicknesses; 12.7 and 14.3. This review will be going over the thicker of the two. The weight of the pedal is accurate from item description. It matches the picture perfectly with a stylish carbon fiber face and deep red frame. The 14.3mm doesn’t make it feel much heavier than its little brother. It cuts through the air like butter and fantastic control. The performance feels soft. If I am packing too much energy or over hitting balls, I would choose this paddle. It takes a little more energy to bounce the ball. It’s slimmer version has a lot more “pop” to it which powers the ball over the net without much effort. ... show more

    • High-quality paddle
Color: Titanium White
This pickleball paddle is sturdy yet lightweight, making it durable without sacrificing maneuverability. I love the natural carbon fiber look with the colorful accents, which gives it a modern and appealing design. It feels perfectly weighted with excellent balance, allowing for precise and controlled swings. The grip is comfortable and well-sized for medium hands, with a soft surface that provides good friction and prevents slipping. Swinging feels effortless, and the paddle delivers excellent power and spin with a large sweet spot, making it easy to use. Overall, this is a high-quality paddle that combines great feel, performance, and style. This is a premium paddle, and you get what you pay for. ... show more
