Vanguard 2.0 Epic

The Selkirk Vanguard 2.0 Epic is a standard-shaped 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 8 ounces with a 109 swing weight (considered low), this paddle should be relatively easy to maneuver. The 5.25-inch grip may be suitable for players with smaller hands or those who prefer a shorter grip. The 1.3 spin rating (out of 10) and low spin percentile (4%) suggest spin generation may not be a primary strength. The 6.0 twist weight rating (out of 10) and 74th percentile for twist weight indicate above-average torsional stability, potentially beneficial for off-center hits. This paddle might be suitable for beginner to intermediate players seeking a balance of power and control with added maneuverability. The thicker core may enhance control, while the fiberglass face could provide adequate power. However, players seeking high spin generation might find this paddle less suitable.
