PUNCH ABOVE YOUR WEIGHT.

The Bantam GTO is an aggressive, hybrid-shaped paddle designed for players who thrive under pressure and love to dictate the pace. With an aerodynamic taper, expanded sweet spot, and a perfectly balanced profile, the GTO gives you the freedom to swing faster, strike harder, and control every shot with confidence. It’s our most-tested shape ever—cold-pressed in the USA for elite consistency and trusted by players who want every edge.
