elongated
The SLK by Selkirk Halo Control XL is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control-oriented paddles. Weighing 7.9 oz with a 5.75\" grip, it may suit players who prefer a slightly longer grip for two-handed backhands. The swing weight of 122 puts it in the high range, potentially providing more power but requiring more effort to swing. The 16mm core thickness contributes to control. The paddle's twist weight is 6.045, with a twist weight rating of 4.3 out of 10 and a percentile of 35.4, suggesting moderate torsional stability. The spin rating is 3.6 out of 10, placing it in the 13.4 percentile. This paddle may be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a control-oriented paddle with added power potential. The elongated shape could offer a larger sweet spot. While the heavier weight and high swing weight may provide power, they could also reduce maneuverability for some players.
