Summary
The Selkirk Vanguard Power Air Epic is a standard-shaped paddle with a 13mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The face features a spray-on grit surface. Weighing 8 ounces with a 5.25-inch grip, it has a low swing weight (104). The shorter grip may not be ideal for two-handed backhands. This paddle may be suitable for players seeking a lighter paddle with a focus on maneuverability. The combination of core and face material could offer a blend of power and spin. The 13mm core thickness may provide more power than thicker cores. Its spin rating is 7.3/10, drive speed rating is 5.3/10, and volley speed rating is 6.3/10. The twist weight rating is 5.1/10, suggesting moderate torsional stability. The lower swing weight may reduce power potential for some players.
