Selkirk Vanguard Control Review
The Vanguard Control paddle is designed for precision in executing shots, including third-shot drops and resets. It maintains the control commonly found on other Vanguard series paddles while adding more spin capabilities, thanks to an advanced non-thermoformed construction. The paddle features a traditional build for a solid feel, an EdgeSentry™ Edgeguard for balance, a T700 Raw QuadCarbon Fiber Face for ultimate spin and performance, and an X5+ 16mm Polypropylene Honeycomb Core for unmatched consistency, ball control, and a larger sweet spot. Additionally, it has an upgraded Octagonal Grip for improved control and shot accuracy on the court.
Vanguard Control vs. Vanguard 2.0 Series
The Vanguard Control brings significant technological advancements compared to its predecessor, the Vanguard 2.0. Let's explore these enhancements in detail:
Firstly, the Vanguard Control boasts a new face constructed of T700 Raw QuadCarbon Fiber. This cutting-edge material not only enhances the overall performance of the paddle but also improves its durability, ensuring a longer lifespan.
Secondly, the Vanguard Control introduces an improved octagonal grip design. This innovative grip offers players greater control and maneuverability on the court. Not only does it feel comfortable in hand, but it also enhances shot accuracy and responsiveness, giving players a competitive edge.
Lastly, the Vanguard Control features an upgraded X5+ 16mm Polypropylene Honeycomb Core. This advanced core technology, developed in Selkirk Labs for Project 006, absorbs the vibration of the ball, providing enhanced control and consistency. Additionally, it offers a larger sweet spot and a softer overall feel, enhancing the overall playing experience.
