I have a HUGE respect for you choosing Paddletek because you liked the paddle better! Most people would have taken the money, but I’m glad you chose the better paddle. That says a lot about you and your character! You’re one of my favorites to watch. Congrats on the signature paddle and I hope you keep crushing it! Also, I hope you keep playing with Thomas. He’s my other favorite player and a good dude.
Massive respect for your honesty and choosing quality over making more money. Also love to see the focus is still on control over sheer power with Paddletek, feels like the best direction for pickleball as a sport. Nice to see there's still the 12.7 option for more pop, love the look of these paddles so far!
I have been wanting this paddle for a very long time! I play a lot and it baffles me why I have not seen anyone else on the court with it. Hope I get one😊
Reviewers have busted Paddleteks chops over the years but the Paddletek Bantam TKO-C 12.7mm & 14.3mm (and ALW paddles) are top tier and a great step forward for the company
This is so exciting!! I tried the Bantam ALW-C and it’s the only paddle I’d consider adding to my arsenal [since I love my current paddle] and the red edge on yours is 🔥
Great video, I was curious about your paddle. Love you videos you make in the car after a tough loss. Keep pushing forward. Favorite player to watch on the tour atm because you can feel the passion you play with through the screen.
@TweenerKing Thank you for all of your content and great play on the PPA Tour! Your paddle would greatly evolve my game as it compliments my two-handed back hand and fast hands at the kitchen. The color combo is very sharp and the spin with power will help me reach my full potential. Shout out to the Paddletek team to create this paddle as well as being a U.S.A. Company! Keep up the great work! I respectfully appreciate the opportunity to win this paddle!
Been rooting for you since day 1! Nothing would be better than getting to play with your signature paddle. Especially since it is THE best paddle ever!
The paddle is dope. I went right for the 12.7mm. It took a few weeks to get used to it but put aways are breeze. Love the extended handle and grip circumference of4.25.
I have been using the 14.3mm paddle this past week and have noticed immediately the power and control difference. I absolutely love this paddle! I have been playing since 1980 and try to stay updated on paddle technology. Starting in 1980 with a wooden Diller paddle to this Alshon carbon Paddletek, has been a welcomed journey!
Been watching your journey for a while and its awesome to get to see your signature paddle available now. keep working hard can"t wait to see some more stuff
#1 supporter right here. Have been my favorite player since I was intoduced to pickleball. I follow you on all platforms and love your game and what you have done for the best sport in the world.
I'm a proud Paddletk ambassador! I've gotten demos of your signature paddles (both the 12.7 & 14.3 MM cores) and I gotta say - they are awesome!!! Based on the ball being used, wind conditions, etc. - I'm going with the 12.7 MM for that extra pop. Placement / control is what I'm looking for - calls for the 14.3 MM. Even with my ties to Paddletek, I'd be honored to put a CA signature TKO-C (14.3 MM plz) in my bag. #Paddletek #LetsGoAgain
When I started playing and grew out of my cheap %$*# starter paddle I just went ahead and got the Warrior Edge because that's what you used at the time. Loved it dearly and worked my way up to 4.8 with it. Help me crack 5.0 with a new stick! If you love it I know I will. Always rooting for you!
Aloha Christian, WOW !! DOMINATE !! That is what you did against Tyson McGuffin. Soooo impressive !! I counted how many times you won points hitting to his deep backhand. 90% winners. Your placement angle shots at the kitchen was on point. plus having the Paddletek Paddle helped a lot. PLEASE use the same strategy agains Ben Johns and DOMINATE !! I hope I win the paddle. I love the same paddle you use If I win. If I win I hope you will sign it. Your biggest fan from Hawaii. Goooo Dominate !!! Aloha Todd
I've played with the Bantam ALW-C 12.7 and really liked it, only wished it was elongated because that is what I'm used to...and along comes your paddle. May have to buy one if I can't win one.
I watched all the way through the black screen and silence at the end of the video, hoping for an Easter egg. I always enjoy your content here on UA-cam. Makes for a nice way to start my Sunday morning and before I get out there on the courts. Congrats on the signature paddle!
Hey, you are one of the 5 lucky winners!! Congrats on winning the paddle giveaway! What is your instagram so I can DM you the instructions for the giveaway.
Saw Brayden (Pickleball Effect) playing with your paddle yesterday. He had some great stuff to say. Kind of excited to check out your new paddle sometime.
Big fan! Definitely gonna try the 14.3 would love to get one but if not I’ll definitely be checking this out along side Zane navirtils paddle. I definitely think you and Zane are the best combo I’ve seen for you guys.
Loving the content! That TKO-CX would be the perfect upgrade form my $99 paddle! Switching over from tennis and a 5.75 length paddle would help with my 2 hand drives big time! Regardless, excited to find out who the winners are
Been subscribed for several months. I’m fingers crossed I’ll win one of the giveaway paddles! I’d like to try the 14.3 mm (the 12.7 wasn’t quite enough touch for me).
Just got the 12.7 CX this week! Loving it so far. Quick question: how do you set yours up now? You were using lead tape and electrical tape but still with the production models?

Not only does these paddles sound awesome, the signature paddle looks amazing too. I love the simple design😍

I have been wanting this paddle for a very long time! I play a lot and it baffles me why I have not seen anyone else on the court with it. Hope I get one😊
Please do a paddle setup video. A lot more people would buy it like myself if they knew how you set it up!
Reviewers have busted Paddleteks chops over the years but the Paddletek Bantam TKO-C 12.7mm & 14.3mm (and ALW paddles) are top tier and a great step forward for the company
Farmer lanky in the house!
Respect. Shows you really love pickleball for all the right reasons
Love it Christian - you’re the man. Former college tennis player and I think the longer handle would be a huge help.
This is so exciting!! I tried the Bantam ALW-C and it’s the only paddle I’d consider adding to my arsenal [since I love my current paddle] and the red edge on yours is 🔥
That paddle looks so cool!!
Great video, I was curious about your paddle. Love you videos you make in the car after a tough loss. Keep pushing forward. Favorite player to watch on the tour atm because you can feel the passion you play with through the screen.
My dream paddle! The handle is everything for me.

This is exactly what I need! Power & control all in 1! Ahhh man I hope to get this oneeeee *woot woooot*
I've been staring at this padel for a long time!
Sweet lookin paddle, really loving the look and spec. Congratulations on your signature paddle and looking forward to see more of you in the PPA.
Looks like a great paddle and initial reviews seem positive. 👍🏻
Been rooting for you since day 1! Nothing would be better than getting to play with your signature paddle. Especially since it is THE best paddle ever!
Im probably gonna get one of these. They look badass.
Impressive. btw, love your post competition commentary.
The paddle is dope. I went right for the 12.7mm. It took a few weeks to get used to it but put aways are breeze. Love the extended handle and grip circumference of4.25.
Glad to hear that!
Thank you for your knowledge on Paddletek paddle.
Loved this intro graphic
Congrats on your new paddle Christian!
Always rooting for you Christian! My son and I had the opportunity to meet you at the Red Rock Open and you were great! Would love to try this paddle!
The red and black on this paddle looks so clean. Congratulations on the signature paddle

I really look forward to being able to give this paddle a try. It looks and sounds great
Way to go, must feel amazing!
Done and done. I love your videos and have enjoyed watching your growth, both as a player AND a person, over the past year.
Been fun following your progress. Keep going! Best of luck.
Very curious to test out this paddle!

I heard great things on the paddle hopefully I get to try it soon!
I have been using a control paddle for so long. Looking to try a power paddle.
Good stuff!, you’ve come a long way!
Stoked for your paddle man. also love all the vlogs you upload.
I’ll be reviewing it soon to see if it lives up to your hype.
The paddle sounds great!
Cool. Congrats. Sharp looking. Paddle.
Thanks! Great Job taking over Pickleball

Congrats on the signature paddle and Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Liked and subscribed and hoping to be one of the five 😁🙏
Thanks for all the vlogs. Love the behind the scene insights. Rooting for you!
I need this paddle!!! Excited to try it out!
1/5000 odds... I like it
Love the Customer Support at Paddletek 👍🏼 Paddles are solid, lots of pro level paddles to choose from.
Great stuff Christian! Love your work. I NEED THIS PADDLE

Respect on choosing the company paddle, which had a better paddle for you over $$$. Not many players can do that.
Awesome paddle! Looks great
gorgeous paddle!
Aloha Christian, WOW !! DOMINATE !! That is what you did against Tyson McGuffin. Soooo impressive !! I counted how many times you won points hitting to his deep backhand. 90% winners.

Your a beast man keep up the good work!

The other reviews on these paddles agree with you. As an up and coming 3.5, I'm keen to try the TKO C 14.3.
I’m glad my biased review isn’t too biased 😂
Just subbed- loving the videos
The paddle looks so good. It would elevate my game so very much because I will have a raw carbon fiber paddle and many more great features
Congrats!
I like the idea of the longer handle for my double backhand. I think I'd like the TKO-C.
The longer handle was a game changer for my two-handed backhand
I watched all the way through the black screen and silence at the end of the video, hoping for an Easter egg.
I always enjoy your content here on UA-cam. Makes for a nice way to start my Sunday morning and before I get out there on the courts.
Congrats on the signature paddle!
Awesome love it
I've never had a paddletek. Would love one in the bag
Hey, you are one of the 5 lucky winners!! Congrats on winning the paddle giveaway! What is your instagram so I can DM you the instructions for the giveaway.
12.7mm TKO-CX sounds awesome!
Great video love the paddle
Would love to own the tko cx 12.7mm. Great content!
Saw Brayden (Pickleball Effect) playing with your paddle yesterday. He had some great stuff to say. Kind of excited to check out your new paddle sometime.
I've been waiting for the release of your signature paddle-I've used the AIW-C 12.7, but I want a longer handle. I hope to try this one soon!
Big fan! Definitely gonna try the 14.3 would love to get one but if not I’ll definitely be checking this out along side Zane navirtils paddle. I definitely think you and Zane are the best combo I’ve seen for you guys.
You do what is best for you and the game, Christian.
Loving the content! That TKO-CX would be the perfect upgrade form my $99 paddle! Switching over from tennis and a 5.75 length paddle would help with my 2 hand drives big time!
Regardless, excited to find out who the winners are
I love your game alshon! Hopefully i can save up some flow to pick up your 12.7mm paddle. Keep up the great content!
Just bought the 14.3. I’m surprised you are using the 12.7 I might buy that one after
congrats !!
Great paddle man ❤🎉
CLLLLEEEEAAAANNN Favorite player since you and zane dunked on the johns.
I got a birthday coming up at the end of May, and that paddle looks like a mighty fine gift!
My ALW-C 12.7 could really use a big brother in the TKO-CX 12.7 😉
Would love to have you come down to Stacks Pickleball in Baton Rouge-got a lot of tennis players who you can convert ;) can’t wait to try this paddle.
Thank you for a chance to win the paddle your view was very good
Thank you for your review.
TKO! Love the name and curious the reason behind it from you and Paddletek
Thanks for the review.
Been subscribed for several months. I’m fingers crossed I’ll win one of the giveaway paddles! I’d like to try the 14.3 mm (the 12.7 wasn’t quite enough touch for me).
I love your video Christian i’m 12 years old and I’m trying to become a pro and I would love to try out your paddle
Just liked and subbed. Paddle looks niceeee!
@Congrats_you_won_DM no freaking way! Thank you!!
ALW's paddle of choice ❤❤❤
So awesome. I like the look and hope to win one of your paddle.
Good choice for you and it sure has been good to ALW.
Man, I'd love to win one of these paddles. Love your channel.
"It's not true, it's not true" 😂😂
I’m want to try
I wish he had spoke about the tech and what makes it better, in his mind, over other paddles on the market.
Just got the 12.7 CX this week! Loving it so far. Quick question: how do you set yours up now? You were using lead tape and electrical tape but still with the production models?
I get mine at 8oz and then I put a total of .5oz of lead on the sides. I use thin lead and start near the throat and go up to the top of the sides
Great video
