Paddletek just released two brand new paddles, and they’re designed for two very different types of players.
The Tempest Veyra, recently seen in the hands of JW Johnson and Jorja Johnson, is a plush, control-oriented paddle, while the new Bantam Jolt brings a stiffer feel and more power.
We’ve been hands-on with both paddles, which come in elongated and widebody shapes. In this review, we break down their construction, technology, on-court performance, and how they compare to help you figure out which one is the better fit for your game.
