elongated
The SLK by Selkirk Halo Power XL is an elongated paddle with a 13mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. The 7.9 oz weight is considered mid-weight, and the 117 swing weight (67th percentile) is in the medium range, potentially offering a balance of power and maneuverability. The 5.75-inch grip length may be suitable for players who prefer a longer grip or use a two-handed backhand. The paddle's twist weight is 5.79 (21st percentile), and the twist weight rating is 3.7 out of 10.
The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel, while the polypropylene honeycomb core is known for a blend of power and control. The elongated shape may provide a larger sweet spot. This combination of features could make the Halo Power XL suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking an all-court paddle.
A potential strength of this paddle is its balance of power and control due to the core material, face material, and medium swing weight. A potential weakness could be the lower twist weight, which may result in less stability on off-center hits compared to paddles with higher twist weights.
