Details

A lighter weight and more maneuverable version of the popular Bantam EX-L will provide quicker speed at the net.

Light-Middleweight/Medium Grip

Bantam TS-5 Composite Pickleball Paddle

Endorsed by National Champion Anna Leigh Waters, the Paddletek Bantam TS-5 is very similar to the Bantam EX-L that we all know and love—it just went on a diet. This slimmed down version of the unbelievably popular Bantam EX-L offers a touchy polymer core that is responsive to your every move, making this paddle perfect for the control freak in all of us.

The Bantam TS-5 is a great blend of power and finesse. Weighing 7.0 to 7.5 ounces, it offers easy maneuvering control when you are returning tricky dinks near the kitchen. The medium grip size with a 5” handle length makes this paddle a perfect fit for the average hand and offers leverage that adds power to overhead slams. Finally, the 7-7/8” by 10 ½” face backed up by a large sweet spot helps you make contact with more returns and keep the ball in play to win more points.

Get ready to rip it like Anna Leigh with the Bantam TS-5 by Paddletek—a great paddle for players who want all the power of a heavier paddle, without the increased weight.

Actual grip size may vary up to 1/8".


Video Transcript of Anna Waters and the Bantam TS-5

"Hi, I'm Anna Leigh Waters and I'm from Delray Beach, Florida and I love this paddle because I feel I have control and power at the same time. I love the thickness of this paddle so I don't feel it's so cumbersome and I don't have a lot of weight to slow down the speed of the paddle so I can hit the ball harder than with a thicker paddle."


Most Useful Customer Reviews

Bantam TS-5 Paddle
Reviewer: Jay
Have used this paddle 6 times now and I love it. Light, nicely balanced, ball springs off face. Big updgrade from my previous paddle.


Perfect
Reviewer: Arlene
Just received my Bantam TS-5 in Purple Aurora, it's beautiful and required no break in time. I'm 5' tall and my hands are small and old, the paddle caused no pain in my wrist or hands, had great control and power. I've played pickleball for 8 years and have a locker full of paddles, this is the most comfortable I've ever had. Thank you Pickleball Central for all your help.


Light and Great Touch
Reviewer: Make Orwell Fiction Again
After I saw Anna Leigh Waters playing with this, I had to have it. I am an older guy and she’s a 15-year-old girl, but I still wanted to try it. It did not disappoint. Reaction time and touch are just sublime. I use the prince response pro in some situations, but I really enjoy this Bantam paddle, and the price is pretty good. Overall I can’t complain, and I get good power up the lines


Purchased for My Wife (Petite)
Reviewer: HLA
This paddle made an immediate improvement and enjoyment in her play over her amazon paddle. Not knocking amazon paddles to get people started and they are very affordable. But with this paddle had markedly improvement in her serves and returns.


Bantam TS-5 Paddle
Reviewer: Robert Carey
Light, good feel, large sweet spot, great control, played better than I have with the same model I bought 2 years ago.


Good Paddle!
Reviewer: Raquelle LeBlanc
I like the power shots with this paddle. The handle is a little on the short side so make sure you measure. Perfect for my small hands but a little shorter than my old one. Good quality and love the purple!
