Bantam EX-L Pro Paddle Review |

I purchased this paddle as a replacement for one I've used for a while. Unfortunately, I didn't find the Bantam TS-5 Pro to be the paddle for me. It's very well balanced and the handle design keeps the paddle face indexed so you know exactly where the face of the paddle is pointing at all times. The feel allows accurate and smooth play at the net while dinking. The noise level is low. My problem with this paddle is that it has virtually no pop and greatly decreased power from what I am used to. I like a hard, deep serve that does not invite my opponent to the net. When receiving a serve I, again, like a hard, deep return for the same reason. The feel of the paddle does allow for an excellent third shot drop, but when my opponent makes the mistake of getting the ball up, this paddle lacks the power for a decisive kill shot. A skilled opponent or one with fast reflexes will have the opportunity to return the shot. If power is part of your game, I would not recommend this paddle.
