Selkirk VANGUARD Power Air - Epic - Pickleball Paddle

Lightweight is perfect for my wife.

The paddle weight versus the pop is perfect for my wife . She has a slower swing speed and this paddle makes a huge difference and improvement in her power on serves and returns.

Paddle good grip bad

The paddle took a few games to get used to. Now it's my daily go to. The grip however = stinks - sorry Selkirk. Had to put an overlay on to keep it from slipping out of my hand, You need to improve the plastic-y feel on this paddle. I've owned a number of Selkirks which were fine. This grip is horrible.

Solid Paddle

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.
