Paddletek Bantam ESQ-C 14.3mm Pickleball Paddle is a high-performance pickleball paddle built for players who want explosive power, fast hand speed and impressive spin from a compact hybrid shape. The 14.3mm Bantam core delivers a crisp, lively response with excellent pop on drives, counters and put-aways, while still offering enough touch for controlled kitchen play.
Its PT-700 unidirectional RAW carbon fibre surface enhances grip on the ball for improved spin generation and consistent shot shaping. The ESQ-C shape blends a square-style sweet spot with strong manoeuvrability, making it ideal for aggressive all-court players. The Purple colourway adds a bold, modern finish to this performance-focused paddle.
Staff Pro Review
The Bantam ESQ-C 14.3mm feels quick through the air and rewards players who like to attack. The thinner core gives noticeably more pop compared with thicker control paddles, making speed-ups and aggressive volleys very effective. Despite the power focus, the carbon face still provides good feel and spin for resets and drops.
