Summary

The SLK by Selkirk Halo Power MAX is a standard-shaped paddle with a 13mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 7.9 oz, it falls within a midweight range, potentially offering maneuverability while still providing some power. Its 4.85-inch grip may be better suited for players with smaller hands. The swing weight of 110 is on the lower end of the spectrum, making it relatively easy to swing. The twist weight of 6.54, combined with a twist weight rating of 5.5 and percentile of 64.6, suggests decent stability on off-center hits. The lower balance point of 234 (16.5 percentile) indicates a head-light balance, further enhancing maneuverability. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate players seeking a blend of power and control. The combination of core and face materials may offer a balance of power and control, while the lighter weight could improve maneuverability. However, players seeking maximum power or a larger grip might find this paddle less suitable.
