Middleweight/Thin or Standard Grip

Paddletek Bantam Anna Leigh Waters RAW Carbon 0.56" Pickleball Paddle

Developed with the personal expertise and input of world #1 female pro pickleball player Anna Leigh Waters to deliver a high-performance blend of control and spin, the Paddletek Bantam ALW-C 14.3mm pickleball paddle performs superbly in the hands of defensive-minded players who seek opportunities to attack. The 14.3mm (0.563") thick Bantam Polymer Honeycomb makes it the thicker, more controllable iteration of Anna Leigh's signature Paddletek paddles. This core absorbs and dissipates a bit more kinetic energy, slowing down the ball and allowing you to place it with better precision to keep your opponents guessing where you'll go next. It features a traditional shape at 15-5/8" long by 7-3/4" wide, and a 5" long handle which is offered in two thicknesses.

The Bantam ALW Carbon 14.3mm paddle from Paddletek takes this reliable blend of control and feedback and packs it into a maneuverable profile weighing just 7.7 ounces. To ensure more players are able to take advantage of the ALW-spec paddle, the handle is offered in circumferences of a 4-1/8" thin grip, as well as a 4-1/4" standard grip. The PT-700 Unidirectional RAW Carbon Fiber hitting surface produces amazing spin, allowing you to hit intentional cuts and slices like few other pickleball paddles can. This hitting surface uses the natural texture of carbon fiber to impart spin on the ball while it lingers against the rigid surface. Place third shot drops with ease, block drives with confidence, and leverage your patience to dink all day while letting the ALW-C paddle do an impressive degree of the work for you.

Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1/8"

    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.

    The handle for this one is too wide and too short for me.
