Vanguard Control Epic Pickleball Paddle

Selkirk Vanguard Control Epic Raw Carbon Pickleball Paddle

Combining a traditional face shape with a longer handle, the Selkirk Vanguard Control Epic Paddle effortlessly delivers a balanced blend of power and control for a well-rounded feel across the court. The surprising power of this paddle comes from its slightly extended 5.3" octagonal handle, which feels good in hand and helps us achieve high swing speeds with both the light and medium weight versions. Upon contact with the 7.8" wide T700 Raw QuadCarbon Fiber face, the ball is compressed, allowing it to spring off the face with plenty of spin thanks to the stiff feel and impressive quad-carbon texture.

While we can steal points from our opponents with refined pop, it's our controlled touch shots that were truly enhanced by Selkirk's Vanguard Control Epic Paddle. Not only does the shape provide the familiar reliable and quick reload and the new face delivers incredible spin, the 16mm Vanguard X5+ Honeycomb core also makes an impressive contribution. Originally developed for Labs Project 006, this core absorbs vibrations for a controllable, soft feel on dinks and drops, and offers an impressive sweet spot that helps us drive the ball away.
