elongated
The Selkirk Vanguard Power Air Invikta is an elongated paddle with a 12.7mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a fiberglass face. This combination may offer a blend of power and control. The paddle weighs 7.8 oz and has a low swing weight of 110, potentially making it maneuverable. The 5.25-inch grip may not be ideal for two-handed backhands. The paddle's spin rating is 7.3/10 and its volley speed rating is 6.8/10. Its drive speed is rated lower at 4.9/10. The relatively low twist weight of 5.5 may result in less stability on off-center hits. This paddle might be suitable for players seeking a lighter, quicker paddle with decent spin and volley speed. The lower drive speed rating suggests it may not be ideal for players prioritizing power.
