PaddleTek Bantam GTO-C
Specs Recap
Where this paddle fits
Factory fit: Modern Power. The Bantam GTO-C's 9.89-inch stock balance is 61.05% of its 16.20-inch length. This paddle sits in DinkFlow's modern head-heavy power extension, with more head presence and plow-through. Expect easier pace and a slower-hand trade-off. At 7.9 oz it is a balanced static weight that suits most recreational players, with an unusually thin core that prioritizes speed over absorption.
↓ lowers stock balance (handle weight near the butt cap). ↑ raises stock balance (head weight at 12 o'clock). Distances assume the simplest single-position shift; real placements vary, and the DinkFlow Paddle Tuner simulates lead tape and counterweight changes against this exact spec.
