Description

Selkirk VANGUARD Hybrid Maxima Lightweight 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 the next, we dared to envision the future of pickleball paddles. From 5.0-1.0, this is the ultimate paddle for a player transitioning from tennis to the great game of pickleball. The Traditional Raquet feels from Selkirk. Selkirk believed that Carbon Fiber technology had not yet shown its true colors in our industry, so Selkirk set out to change that. Selkirk took on the largest research and development effort the industry has perhaps ever known. Selkirk's 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 a perfect feel. VANGUARD by Selkirk was born. The next generation of paddles has come, in the form of the VANGUARD Series by Selkirk. More than a performance paddle, the VANGUARD is the next frontier.

Great paddle for really feeling the ball & drops Peter Cook Intermediate

Pros: Excellent for 3rd & 5th shot drops Great feel for the ball, leading to more accurate placement & fewer out balls Great for blocking drives, leaving the ball just over the net

Cons: If you are a constant driver, you will want a different paddle. You can drive the ball fine with this, but it won't provide the same velocity some other paddle options provide.
