Description

Selkirk VANGUARD Hybrid Invikta Middleweight Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle

Driven by the love of pickleball, Selkirk has a singular passion: to lead the charge in the pickleball industry in innovation, design, and performance. The game matters to Selkirk. Selkirk's community matters to us. So Selkirk pinpointed what matters most in Pickleball: speed and consistency. Determined to deliver the unwavering speed and consistency you need to take your Pickleball game to another level, we dared to envision the future of pickleball paddles. We believed that Carbon Fiber technology had not yet shown its true colors in our industry, so we set out to change that. We took on the largest research and development effort the industry has perhaps ever known. Our engineers developed a proprietary QuadCarbon technology with two layers of carbon fiber on each side, instead of just one. This unique approach delivers a paddle-like no other that gives you ultimate consistency, accelerated ball velocity, an extra-large sweet spot, maximum spin, and perfect feel. VANGUARD by Selkirk was born. More than a performance paddle, the VANGUARD is the next frontier.

Good Option Jacob Intermediate

Pros: This paddle is very forgiving on miss hits with the thicker core. It also has a great combo of touch and power.

Cons: I'd suggest an overgrip. The grip isn't great at all, your handle slides off the paddle after awhile of playing.
