Invikta Vanguard 2.0

The Invikta Vanguard 2.0 by Selkirk is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, a material known for balancing power and control. The face is constructed of carbon fiber, often associated with control and feel. Weighing 7.5 ounces with a 110 swing weight (considered low), this paddle may be maneuverable. The 5.25-inch grip may be suitable for most players, though those preferring two-handed backhands might find it shorter than ideal. The 16mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented play. The combination of core and face materials could offer a blend of power and control. The elongated shape might provide a larger sweet spot. The low swing weight may enhance maneuverability but could limit power generation. The Vanguard 2.0's twist weight is 5.62, with a twist weight rating of 3.3 out of 10 and a twist weight percentile of 13%, suggesting it may be less resistant to twisting on off-center hits compared to other paddles. This paddle might be suitable for players prioritizing control and maneuverability.
