Paddletek Bantam Anna Leigh Waters RAW Carbon 0.56" Pickleball Paddle

Developed and designed with the help of one of the best women’s players in the world, Anna Leigh Waters, the Paddletek Bantam ALW-C 14.3mm Pickleball Paddle offer an exceptional blend of control and spin. As the thicker core iteration of the ALW-C’s, this standard shaped 7.7-ounce paddle provides smooth maneuverability to go with the cushioned control and sneaky pop that help you dominate at the net and outlast your opponent.

Benefits

PT-700 Unidirectional RAW Carbon Fiber Hitting Surface – Rigid and boasting a natural texture, this hitting surface offers impressive dwell time and the texture we need to impart spin on every shot.

14.3mm Bantam Polymer Honeycomb Core – Thick and controllable, this core absorbs impact to enhance dwell time and minimize rebound so that your drop shots drop, and your dinks stay low and tricky.

5” Long Handle, Standard Shape – The 5-inch handle comes in two thicknesses to cater to your desired feel, while the short design keeps your hand close to the contact point for precision with every strike and plenty of maneuverability.

Is This Paddle for Me?

If you are a defensive minded player who likes to stay in points and force mistakes, this paddle will help you thrive. The cushioned core allows you to keep your dinks low, the maneuverable design helps you reload quickly, and the standard shape allows you to defend with the best of them.

    I was worried because it was an order from Japan, but they responded very kindly. The paddle is also in good condition. Thank you very much.

    This paddle is unquestionably more powerful than the last model. Once I added some lead tape to the bottom curves it was perfect. 90% of the paddle became a sweet spot (don’t fact check that percentage lol) The spin is gives is CRAZY good. If you love a great control paddle with serious pop and power I’d try it. Love the reddish pink colors too ?? the only thing I would change is a slightly longer handle.

    a good paddle for sure..although ALW uses the 12.7 and heard she wraps the entire perimeter with lead tape the make it's weight closer to 9.0 Pros : great power and spin Cons: lacks power ( need to work it), handel was shorter than my others for 2 handed back hand.
