Summary

The Selkirk Omni Vanguard 2.0 is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The fiberglass face is often associated with a blend of power and touch. Weighing 8oz with a 4.5-inch grip, it has a medium swing weight (113). The 16mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented gameplay. The elongated shape may offer a larger sweet spot. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate players seeking a balance between power and control. The combination of core and face materials could provide a good mix of power and feel. The medium swing weight may make it maneuverable while still offering decent power. The twist weight of 6.01 suggests moderate stability on off-center hits. Players prioritizing extreme spin or power might find its ratings in these areas lower compared to other paddles.
