Summary

The SLK by Selkirk Halo Pro XL is an elongated paddle with a 14mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The Kevlar and carbon fiber face is often associated with durability and responsiveness. Weighing 7.9 oz with a 5.75” grip, it accommodates two-handed backhands. The swing weight is high (122), potentially generating more power but requiring more effort to swing. Its spin rating is 7.7/10, drive speed rating is 7.4/10, and volley speed rating is 7.4/10. Spin, power, and pop percentiles are 73rd, 73rd, and 84th respectively. The relatively low twist weight rating of 3.9/10 may result in less stability on off-center hits. This paddle may be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of power and control. The elongated shape could offer a larger sweet spot.
