Paddletek Bantam TS-5 Pro Pickleball Paddle

Bantam TS-5 Pro Composite Pickleball Paddle

The original TS-5 is an amazing (5-Star rated) paddle, and this new Bantam TS-5 Pro takes the performance up to a whole new level. Using Paddletek’s ground breaking 916 Pro core, this paddle creates a larger, more consistent sweet spot so that you’re ready to return any shot! The 916 Pro Core is thicker than the prior TS-5, a full 9/16” thick (vs 1/2” on the original). This increased core thickness spreads the ball impact energy out in a more consistent way, giving the paddle better play across the entire face.

Of course, this is a TS-5, so this Pro edition doesn’t give up what made the TS-5 famous to begin with. The paddle is designed for folks who want a high performance paddle that isn’t head heavy. The original TS-5 is known for exceptional touch and control, with good power, in a light-weight package, and this new TS-5 Pro maintains what was great about the original, but with a bigger, more consistent sweet spot, and increased shot making control.

Another great aspect of this Pro version, is how you can personalize the paddle specific to your liking. The TS-5 Pro can be customized in both its grip size, and its weight range. It also comes in a choice of a Smaller 4 1/8” grip size or a Larger 4 3/8” grip. The Small grip uses a high-tack flat “overgrip” style wrap, and the Large grip uses a perforated cushion wrap. You can also choose a weight range for this new Pro TS-5. The Light version averages around 7.3 ounces, with weights ranging from 7.0 to 7.5 ounces. But if you want a bit more power, while staying under 8.0 ounces, the standard weight paddle averages around 7.8 ounces, and comes in a range from 7.6 to 8.0 ounces.

These option choices accommodate a wider variety of players, so whether you want a lighter paddle for more speed or a heavier for more power, or if you want a trim grip for smaller hands or you prefer a larger, more cushioning grip for comfort, you'll enjoy the best option for your needs.

The new 2020 model of the TS-5 Pro features Torsional Vibration Control that helps improve the size of the sweet spot side to side and help you have successful shots on off-center mis-hits.

This new Bantam TS-5 Pro shares a lot in common with its original TS-5 brethren. They both come with Paddletek’s limited lifetime warranty. They both are authentically made in the USA, and they most use trademark Paddletek polymer core technology. The new TS-5 Pro features a textured face fiberglass hybrid face with a UV coating to prevent breakdown and fading. The design comes with a black background which is covered with the Paddletek "P" and has a mesh-like pattern within its outline. The paddle name is displayed to the lower right.

The Bantam TS-5 Pro Paddle is a quick and customizable paddle that will provide all the flexibility you need to win point after point. View more of our Paddletek's paddles here.
