Paddletek Tempest TKO-C 14.3mm RAW Carbon Pickleball Paddle
Taking over the slot previously filled by the Tempest Reign, the new 16.5" by 7.5" Tempest TKO-C with a 5.3-inch handle fills a void in the Paddletek line. Using their renowned Tempest Core, this paddle will emphasize control and forgiveness, but it will have access to power you haven’t experienced in the Tempest Line. Keeping a great balance of offense and defense and offering some spicy spin, this paddle keeps us coming back for more..
Benefits
PT-700 Unidirectional RAW Carbon Fiber Hitting Surface – Paddletek is adding Raw Carbon Fiber with a peel ply texture to their stable – and it is all made in the USA. Long lasting and high performing, this surface adds linger time and spin to your game.
14.3mm Tempest Polymer Honeycomb Core – The control core that has produced innumerable National Championships provides the consistency of play can help you dominate with angles and placement.
5.3" Long Handle, Elongated Shape –Just a tad longer than the 5.25 inch handle on the Tempest Reign, the feel is definitely roomier for large hands. It does allow for an overlapping two-handed grip, as well.
