Selkirk VANGUARD Power Air S2 Pickleball Paddle



Touted by Selkirk as "The Ultimate Power & Spin Paddle," the VANGUARD Power Air S2 combines unique power and control elements for a paddle that performs from the baseline to the kitchen. The largest hitting area in the Power Air line, combined with the FlexFoam perimeter, means a generous sweet spot for a strong short game. Innovations such as the open throat, edgeless design, and four layers of QuadFlex Hybrid Carbon Fiber/Fiberglass comprising each face lead to powerful ground strokes and overhead put-aways. Atop the hybrid face Selkirk incorporates their ProSpin+ texture treatment, which is a long-lasting, highly gritty surface delivering maximum spin on your cuts and slices, and maximum frustration to your opponents.

The VANGUARD Power Air S2 sports a 4-3/8" long handle, wrapped in Selkirk's popular Geo Grip, to go with a 15-3/4" overall paddle length. And at a full 8" wide, the S2 shape is the perfect shield to enhance your blocking defense. The paddle features 360° Proto Molding which reinforces a consistent feel, despite the open-throat design, even when your human side shows and you mis-hit the ball. Weight range tolerance is from 7.7 to 8.1 ounces, with a weight average of 7.9 oz. For players developing a complete game, the VANGUARD Power Air S2 allows you to utilize all the tools in your arsenal.

Please note, because this is a truly edgeless paddle it will chip if struck against the court surface. We recommend applying one to two layers of electrical tape or branded edge guard tape to the edges of this paddle for protection against damage.

The VANGUARD Power Air S2 from Selkirk Pickleball gives players the confidence they need to hit with power and spin, along with the accuracy to keep the ball in the court.

Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1/8".
 

Reviews of the VANGUARD Power Air S2 Paddle by Pickleball Central Staff:


"I've always appreciated the S2 shape from Selkirk, because it's wide (which translates to a huge sweet spot and great blocking defense), and has a shorter-than-average handle which fits my 'finger up' grip style quite well. Now, S2 performance is leveling-up by incorporating certain learnings from the Selkirk LABS R&D program, such as the open-throat design, edgeless perimeter, and thin profile for decreased wind drag and enhanced maneuverability. Throw in the grittiest surface texturing of any Selkirk pickleball paddle in history, and I found myself bending and shaping shots without really even having to think about it.

These Power Air paddles aren't for newer players still trying to figure out the strengths and weaknesses in their game; rather, in experienced hands, these paddles are weapons on the court. So, if you have soft hands that can keep dinks low and reset from mid-court without needing much help from your paddle, grab a VANGUARD Power Air in your favorite Selkirk shape and start powering ground strokes and overheads past your opponents like never before."
