Selkirk Vanguard Power Air Invikta Pickleball Paddle

SELKIRK VANGUARD POWER AIR INVIKTA PICKLEBALL PADDLE

A culmination of over two years of Research & Development, in partnership with top Pickleball pros such as Tyson McGuffin, the Vanguard Power Air addresses the need for both power and spin. As professional Pickleball became increasingly focused on power and spin over the past 2 years, the larger community discovered the benefits of power and spin, especially when it comes to dominating opponents. Vanguard Power Air technology was developed to provide a paddle that enables full control of the court, with performance power and maximum spin.

The first iteration of this technology was developed in Selkirk Labs and launched as Project 002. Utilizing Labs member feedback, Power Air optimizes the 002, providing additional control from the SuperCore, enhanced consistency with 360° Proto Molding, and next-level aerodynamics and edge durability with Aero-DuraEdge Edgeless technology. 

Favored for its increased sweet spot size when compared to other elongated Pickleball paddle shapes, the Invikta is popular with intermediate to Pro player, and is the brainchild of National Pickleball Champion, Tyson McGuffin. Its elongated shape, large sweet spot, and long handle provide more power, more reach, and more spin.
