Summary
The Selkirk Amped Pro Air Invikta is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, commonly known for balancing power and control. The face features a spray-on grit surface. Weighing 8 ounces, it falls into the mid-weight category. The 5.25-inch grip may be less suitable for players preferring longer grips for two-handed backhands. With a swing weight of 119, it falls into the high swing weight category, potentially offering more power but requiring more effort to swing.
The manufacturer's data suggests this paddle may be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of power and control. The 16mm core thickness and elongated shape could contribute to a larger sweet spot and enhanced control. The higher swing weight and drive speed rating (7.5/10) suggest potential for powerful drives. The twist weight rating is 4.0/10, indicating moderate torsional stability. The spin rating is 7.2/10.
While the manufacturer's data suggests good power potential, the lighter weight might limit power generation for some players. The shorter grip length could be a drawback for those who prefer two-handed backhands.
