The Selkirk Vanguard Control Epic is a standard-shaped paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 7.9 oz with a swing weight of 111, it falls into the low swing weight category, making it relatively easy to maneuver. The 5.3-inch grip may be suitable for most players. The 16mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented play. This paddle may be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a balance of control and power. The combination of core and face materials could offer a blend of control, feel, and power. The low swing weight may enhance maneuverability, while the standard shape provides a familiar feel. However, players seeking maximum power might find this paddle less suitable. Its twist weight of 6.29 offers moderate torsional stability. With a spin rating of 7.0 and placing in the 55th percentile for spin, this paddle offers average spin capability.
