Bantam ALW-C 14.3 Pickleball Paddle

The Bantam ALW-C 14.3 was designed in partnership with World #1 Anna Leigh Waters to deliver a balanced blend of forgiveness, power, spin, and precision. Featuring PT-700 unidirectional RAW carbon fiber paired with Bantam’s more forgiving 14.3mm polymer core, the ALW-C 14.3 gives players a confident, controlled response with every swing.

Ideal for serious players who demand both touch and torque, this paddle’s slightly thicker core enhances stability, while maintaining the Bantam series’ trademark acceleration and power. With its light-to-medium weight and precision-engineered face, the ALW-C 14.3 empowers you to dictate rallies, dominate at the kitchen, and finish points with authority.
