    Superior touch with available power

    You will love the responsiveness of the Vanguard Pro Invikta. The Pro does not require any “break-in” time. You will feel like you have always played with it due to the solid, superior feel and power on demand.

    Great paddle!

    Paddle has a good feel when hitting balls. Big sweet spot and face grips well for adding spin. Has good control but still has some pop to it. Definitely fits into the hybrid category.

    Selkirk Vanguard Pro - Invikta

    I've only played with it for a week. So far really like the paddle. I really like the Selkirk brand. Went to another brand, but was not overly happy. Returning the Selkirk. Great company and the warranty is top notch

Selkirk paddle shape comparison

S2

Epic

Invikta

S2

The most control and precision

Ideal for pickleball players who want the most control potential. This shape is also great for players coming over from a table tennis background because it most closely resembles a ping pong paddle.

Epic

Versatile and balanced

Ideal for beginners to seasoned pros, and tennis players transitioning to pickleball. Some players prefer this shape, while others who don’t have a preference opt for it as a way to continue learning their preferences.

Invikta

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.
