What Players Are Saying
The Alpha Paddle!
Honestly unreal how great of a paddle you get for this price. I love the long handle and powerful face. This paddles has it all and is one of my go-to-choice's. Coretek has done something special with this one and I hope the company gets the recognition it deserves for the hard work they put into this. Would recommend it to anyone!!!
Great stability!
Very stable with a great sweet spot and plush
Alpha paddle
so FUN to play with this new paddle! Plenty of Power and a 'balanced' feel.
Exceptional Performance and Value
I love this paddle. Few paddles I’ve tested have as much easily accessible power and pop, even fewer retain strong control for resets and dinks. The alpha is a true power paddle that doesn’t sacrifice control. Power, control, and the gnarly spin this paddles offers makes it a true weapon for all skill levels. Constructive subjective criticism: I would prefer the handle to be more of an octagon and less logo on the paddle face. My paddle weighed in at 8.4 ounces leaving little room to add weight. This wasn’t an issue for me but may be for others. Also the paddle feels a little bulkier than other 16mm paddles. Being said, the alpha has replaced the Paddletek bantam tko-c as my main and I highly recommend it.
The Alpha is a really great, well handling paddle.
The Alpha really is a great paddle. I've had two days of competitive playing and it took me almost no time to get used to it. It handles excellent. It dinks well, plays down the line well, serves to where you want, AND is very powerful too. That's the tough part getting both. You will not be disappointed. Oh, it scoops up those ones at your feet with zero bounce better than any paddle I've ever played with. Either that, or I got really good overnight. Not.
Great Paddle!
The sweet spot is the entire surface, very balanced with lots of power.
Where have you been?
Great paddle. Amazing price. I love the balance and the pop. For the price you could buy both the Alpha and Omega. I know some who have.
One Concern
I’m concerned about the graphics on the face of the paddle hindering the spin potential.
Alpha
The Alpha paddle was great right out of the box but when I added a little lead tape, it took it to another level. The spring effect from the foam was much more evident and the paddle was even more powerful. Very happy with the Alpha.
Great - But broke at the throat of the paddle
Great paddle. The handle is difficult to get use to. Felt much better when normal grip was removed and replaced with a thin over grip. Just started to love the paddle when the paddle broke at the throat area.
ALPHA α Paddle!
So much fun. The control is incredible, it feels like a widebody paddle but has good power!
