Paddletek Bantam ALW-C 14.3 Pickleball Paddle

More Reach, Same Bantam Power — ALW-C in Long Handle

The Paddletek Bantam ALW-C 14.3 delivers the same all-around power as the 12.7 version with a longer 14.3 cm handle for players who want extra reach, leverage, or a two-handed backhand option. Backed by Paddletek's lifetime warranty, it's ideal for players who play hard and fast and want a paddle that lasts. If you're transitioning from tennis or just prefer more handle, this is the ALW-C for you. Take our Paddle Quiz if you're still deciding.
