Selkirk VANGUARD Power S2 Pickleball Paddle
The VANGUARD Power S2 Paddle by Selkirk affords aggressive players the consistency and all-over power to put away shot after shot. It is constructed to the same dimensions as its VANGUARD Hybrid and AMPED counterparts, but also leverages Selkirk's all-new, and thinnest-yet, X6 polypropylene honeycomb core which carries a slim profile at just 0.4" thick. This unique combination of paddle dimensions and thin core result in maximum power behind your shots, ball reactivity, and tactile feel. This paddle is perfect for high-level players who enjoy attacking with power, while appreciating the defensive blocking ability of an 8" wide playing surface.
The VANGUARD Power Epic Pickleball Paddle comes to you featuring the same cutting-edge carbon fiber cross-weave "Quad Carbon" face material, "EdgeSentry" edge guard, and Selkirk-designed Geo Grip elements as the
VANGUARD Hybrid S2, which are definitely factors behind the VANGUARD line's popularity. The Quad Carbon face improves rigidity when compared to graphite or composite-faced paddles, which translates to consistency in ball reactivity across the entire face. This S2 weighs in between 7.9 and 8.4 oz, placing it at the high end of the midweight paddle category. And thanks to the slim X6 core, this latest version of the renowned S2 shape quicken your hand movements at the kitchen line while providing intense and tactile response in every strike. The paddle's handle length is 4 1/2" long with a medium circumference of 4.25".
The Selkirk VANGUARD Power S2 Paddle has wonderful balance with a responsive feel that will leave you feeling prepared for every competitor you face on the court.
