The Bantam ESQ-C was designed in collaboration with pickleball pro, Andrea Koop, to provide a combination of power, spin, and forgiveness. PT-700 unidirectional RAW carbon fiber is combined with our more forgiving 14.3mm or more powerful 12.7mm Bantam core to give serious players controllable power and spin capability. A 5 1⁄2” handle reduces wind drag and allows for a two-handed backhand, while a large, consistent sweet spot adds finesse to every shot.
