Description
Paddletek Bantam GTO-C 14.3mm Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle
The Bantam GTO is the most-tested paddle in Paddletek's Bantam Carbon Series, built for aggressive players who dominate every inch of the court. Featuring a hybrid aerodynamic shape with a tapered head, this paddle delivers fast swing speed, explosive power, and a wider, more forgiving sweet spot.
Paddle Benefits
Powered by their cold-pressed Bantam QRT Polymer Core, the GTO offers a rare balance of feel and force—activating precisely with your swing for consistent pop and control. It swings like a heavier paddle but moves with lightning-quick agility during counters and firefights.
Whether you're serving with intent, ripping drives from the baseline, or putting away points at the net, the GTO gives you the confidence to go for more—without sacrificing consistency. Cold-pressed and proudly made in the USA for elite-level performance.
