Please note that your paddle may arrive with either a white or gray Geo Grip. The grip color is purely cosmetic and has no impact on performance.
The Selkirk VANGUARD Power Air S2 pickleball paddle is the top choice for power players. Designed to generate maximum spin for controlled, aggressive drives, it features a large face and larger sweet spot than traditional power paddles, allowing for difficult-to-return shots and superior ball spin. With its S2 shape featuring a short handle and the largest face among Selkirk pickleball paddles, this paddle ensures the most extensive sweet spot for enhanced consistency. It is particularly well-suited for committed pickleball and table tennis enthusiasts.

For expedited shipping, there's a 1-2 business day processing time before orders ship. Orders placed over the weekend will ship the following Tuesday. Please note that during product launches, high-volume periods, and holidays, processing and shipping times are not guaranteed and will likely be extended due to increased order volume.
What are my options for expedited shipping?
To optimize the customer experience according to individual needs, we offer expedited shipping through various carriers, selectable at checkout. Estimated shipping times, provided by carriers, are not guaranteed, and consequently, we cannot refund shipping charges if orders do not arrive within the estimated timeframe.

Last updated 3 months ago
Customers say this paddle is lightweight and delivers strong power with good control. Many appreciate the improved game performance, particularly the sweet spot and spin capabilities. The lightweight design helps with maneuverability and swing speed. Some note the short handle works well for kitchen play. However, several mention concerns about the thin construction—some find it too light or report dead spots and durability issues like chipping. A few report difficulty controlling drop shots and dinks, or find the grip slips during play. Overall, most customers praise the paddle's performance for their game improvement.

I really like how light this paddle is. It has a solid strike and the sweet spot is great. The grip leaves something to be desired. The second time I used it, it slipped out of my hand, flew under my foot and my weight caused it to skid on the court damaging it quite badly.

It’s a beautiful paddle, but my wrist doesn’t seem strong enough to get a pop. Feels like hitting a dead ball.
