elongated
The SLK by Selkirk Evo 2.0 XL Hybrid is an elongated paddle with a 13mm polypropylene honeycomb core. This core material is known for its balance of power and control. The paddle features a carbon fiber face, often associated with control and feel. Weighing 7.8 oz with a 5.75-inch grip, it may suit players who prefer a lighter paddle with added grip length, potentially beneficial for two-handed backhands. The elongated shape could offer a larger sweet spot. With a swing weight of 107, it falls into the low swing weight category, making it easy to maneuver. The twist weight is 5.4, suggesting moderate torsional stability. The manufacturer's spin rating is 3.2/10 and falls in the 12th percentile compared to other paddles tested, while the twist weight rating is 2.7/10 and falls in the 6th percentile. This paddle might be suitable for players prioritizing maneuverability and control. A potential weakness could be less power compared to heavier paddles.
