elongated
The Selkirk Vanguard Control Invikta Lightweight is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. Its 7.4 oz weight and low swing weight (104) suggest maneuverability. The 16mm core thickness and elongated shape may provide control and a larger sweet spot. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control-oriented paddles. The 5.5-inch grip length is standard. This paddle might be suitable for players prioritizing control and maneuverability, potentially including intermediate or all-court players. The combination of core and face materials could offer a balance of power and control, while the low swing weight may enhance quick exchanges at the net. However, players seeking maximum power might find this paddle's lighter weight a potential limitation. Its twist weight is relatively low (5.3, rating 2.5/10, 4th percentile), which may reduce stability on off-center hits. The spin rating is 7.7/10, placing it in the 73rd percentile.
