Used Paddletek Bantam

Age is the thing to establish first, because the span of what carries this name is wide and an early Bantam is a very different paddle from a current one. Then the core: on the older moulds a rattle on tapping is the classic core-separation tell and it is more common here than on the Tempest. Build quality is otherwise good and handles last well.

A player who wants a durable, honest power paddle and does not need the current generation of anything.

Is a used Paddletek Bantam worth buying?

Age is the thing to establish first, because the span of what carries this name is wide and an early Bantam is a very different paddle from a current one. Then the core: on the older moulds a rattle on tapping is the classic core-separation tell and it is more common here than on the Tempest. Build quality is otherwise good and handles last well.

How do you grade a used Bantam?

The same way as everything else here: weighed, tapped, measured and checked on twelve points, then graded Mint, Like New or Excellent. Anything below the floor is declined rather than listed cheaply, so a low price means an older generation or more cosmetic wear, never a paddle that failed inspection.

Can I trade in my Bantam?

Yes. Send photos and a person comes back within 24 hours with an offer in RePaddle store credit. The quote is an estimate until the paddle is in hand and graded, and if the final offer differs we email it and issue nothing until you accept.

1. Paddletek Tempest

   A dinking, resetting, kitchen-line game. Players looking for put-away power will find it frustrating and should not buy one cheaply to find out.
