A paddle used by pros for under $100, the Bantam EX-L is best for players who prioritize power and consistency over spin and control. The sound and feel of a crushed overhead is just right, even if you miss the sweet spot.

Electrum claims to be the Apple of paddles. We wouldn't go that far, but their signature gritty surface makes this paddle ideal for advanced players who want to pick apart their opponents with spin and power. These paddles also feature a minimalist matte black aesthetic, if that's your thing.

One of our pros described this paddle as "way better than anything below $100." Encore's textured surface makes it ideal for spin, but this paddle still packs a punch. Great for intermediate players looking to take the next step.
