Paddletek Tempest Wave Pro-C 14.3mm Pickleball Paddle
Paddletek Tempest Wave Pro-C 14.3mm Pickleball Paddle is a control-oriented pickleball paddle designed for players who value touch, consistency and spin across every area of the court. Built with Paddletek's classic Tempest shape, it delivers a generous sweet spot and excellent forgiveness, helping improve confidence on dinks, resets and defensive exchanges. The 14.3mm core provides a stable response with a softer feel, allowing precise ball placement without sacrificing enough pop for attacking shots.
The PT-700 raw carbon fibre face enhances surface grip for improved spin and greater shot control, while Tempest Smart Response Technology helps absorb vibration and maintain clean feedback at impact. This combination makes the paddle particularly effective for strategic players who rely on placement, control and all-court versatility.
