Love the ESQ-C 14.3! Thanks for the review.

I love my ALW-C paddle. It's perfect for me. Paddletek has excellent customer service - bonus!

14mm or 12mm?

[@khpickleball]

@@robedwards6926 I went with the 14 this time. I picked up the TKO-CX in 12.7mm and I'm terrible with it. The paddle has a beautiful and powerful sweet spot, unlike many of the paddles I've owned, but toward the upper edges this paddle was really unforgiving and jarring for me. Plus I don't have the hands to reset it properly against higher level players. Hoping the 14mm will provide a softer feel and more control oriented. I love my PIKKL Hurricane Pro paddles in both 14 and 16mm, so the thought of having a hybrid version of this with a Bantam seems too good to pass up!

The 12.7 has allowed me to score more points on drives. It does require precision technique. I hope to reduce the pop-ups soon!
