Bantam ESQ-C 12.7mmThe Paddle The Bantam ESQ C was designed in collaboration with pickleball pro Andrea Koop to deliver a powerful blend of spin, pop, and forgiveness. PT 700 unidirectional RAW carbon fibre is paired with a 12. 7mm Bantam core to give serious players explosive power and exceptional spin potential. A 5. 5 handle reduces wind drag while supporting two handed backhands, and the large, consistent sweet spot adds control and finesse when you need it most.
