Where Paddletek fits. Paddletek’s core is the Bantam carbon line, sold in three face shapes, the elongated TKO, the hybrid GTO and the widebody ESQ, each in a thinner 12.7mm or a thicker 14.3mm core. Above it sit the premium Honeyfoam foam builds, the Reserve and TKO-X (about $250); below it, the value fiberglass Phoenix line (about $70 to $80). It is a clean matrix: pick the Bantam shape for your game and the thickness for feel, or go foam for the premium touch. Below are four standouts, then every current model.
