Selkirk Vanguard Control Invikta Pickleball Paddle
Selkirk Vanguard Control review: a raw T700 QuadCarbon face on a 16mm X5+ core for soft hands, deep resets and spin control. ~£180 in the UK.
4.4 / 5
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Highly recommended
Strengths
- Raw T700 QuadCarbon face gives outstanding touch and spin control
- 16mm X5+ core makes drops and resets land soft and consistent
- Elongated Invikta shape adds reach without losing control
Watch outs
- Control-first design means less raw put-away power than the Power Air
- UK stock is patchy as Selkirk rotates its lineup
- 4 1/4" grip runs small for larger hands without an overgrip
£179.99
