Could use a touch more control at the kitchen, but if you're an aggressive baseliner or transition player, the ALW-C 12.7 gets the job done. Not sure? Take the Paddle Quiz.

What does ALW stand for?
ALW refers to Paddletek's paddle geometry and construction spec — it denotes a specific weight and balance profile optimized for all-around play.
Is the ALW-C different from the TKO-C?
Yes — slight differences in shape geometry and weight distribution give each paddle a unique feel, though both share the same power-forward character.
