Very Reliable Paddle

Very comfortable and easy paddle to use. The longer hand gives a bit more reach. I also LOVE the color, I know that it might not make me play any better but it makes me happy!

Need more time to assess

Currently, the paddle is working great. It's very lightweight but it seems to handle hard driven balls firmly. I bought the pink one. Am now thinking it might be easier to target. ha! I also purchased the longer handle since my old paddle was also 1" longer. I need a little more time with consistent games to probably appreciate its performance.

SLK Halo

I love the paddle! The longer grip feels great and being lighter weight, helps my elbow from becoming sore. The control helps when I’m trying to slow down the game. Thank you for making a great paddle in my favorite color!

XL

Max

Versatile and balanced

XL

Extend your reach and create more power

Ideal for intermediate to pro players who have an aggressive play style, like more room for a two-handed grip, and want more reach. The SLK XL shape is most similar to the Selkirk Invikta shape.
