The Bantam GTO-C is built for players who thrive in high-pressure situations, offering a dynamic blend of speed and strength. Its aerodynamic, tapered hybrid shape enhances swing speed, allowing you to deliver powerful drives and dominate net exchanges with ease. The head-biased balance point maximizes swing weight, providing the momentum needed for crushing shots, while the expanded sweet spot ensures consistent performance, even on off-center hits. Whether you’re attacking from the baseline or finishing points at the net, this paddle empowers you to take charge of every rally.

At the heart of the GTO-C lies Paddletek’s Bantam Quick Response Technology (QRT) polymer core, a cold-pressed, large-cell polypropylene honeycomb that delivers a perfect balance of power and responsiveness. This innovative core activates progressively with your swing, ensuring reliable pop and pinpoint control for every shot. The PT-07 Matrix Stabilization Layer enhances core activation, amplifying energy transfer for maximum impact, while the carbon steel twist weight and balance system improves stability and expands the sweet spot for greater consistency.

The paddle’s face features PT-700 unidirectional raw Toray T700 carbon fiber, engineered to generate exceptional spin and precise ball control. This advanced surface allows you to shape shots with confidence, whether you’re adding topspin to a drive or slicing a delicate drop shot. The shot protection edge guard system absorbs shock and reduces vibration, ensuring a smooth, comfortable feel during intense exchanges.

Weighing an average of 7.9 oz, the GTO-C combines the feel of a heavier paddle with the agility of a lightweight design, making it ideal for quick counters and fast-paced firefights. The 5.5-inch handle, paired with a 4.25-inch cushioned octagonal grip, provides ample room for two-handed backhands and extended reach, offering comfort and control for players of all styles. The paddle’s 16.25-inch length and 7.75-inch width create a versatile profile, perfect for both power and finesse.
