Summary

The Selkirk Vanguard Control Invikta is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. This combination may offer a balance of power and control. Weighing 7.9 oz with a swing weight of 114, it falls into the midweight category with a medium swing weight. The 5.5-inch grip accommodates most players. The elongated shape could provide a larger sweet spot. The 16mm core thickness is often associated with enhanced control. The carbon fiber face is known for its potential to generate spin, which is reflected in its spin rating of 7.8 out of 10. The twist weight of 5.73 suggests moderate torsional stability. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of control and power. While the midweight provides stability, it could be less maneuverable than lighter paddles.
