Selkirk Vanguard Control S2 Raw Carbon Pickleball Paddle

With the shortest handle and largest sweet spot in the Vanguard line, the Selkirk Vanguard Control S2 Paddle boasts consistency and reliability in a standard shape. This leads to impressive control with just enough pop. The Vanguard Control line prides itself on feel and supreme spin and thanks to the 15.7” overall length and 8.2” wide T700 Raw QuadCarbon Fiber hitting surface, this paddle fits the bill. Regardless of whether you prefer to swing the lightweight or midweight version, this dual-layered, impressively textured hitting surface provides dwell time, impressive spin, and reliable durability that combine to keep even our most difficult shots consistent.

The Vanguard Control S2 Paddle from Selkirk further offers control and consistency on resets and third shot drops thanks to the 16mm Vanguard X5+ Honeycomb core. This newly engineered core takes notes from the old Labs 006 core to offer an edge-to-edge sweet spot for consistent contact, impressive vibration dampening for a soft feel on every strike, and energy return to make sure our put-aways aren’t lacking. The 4.7” octagonal handle keeps your hand close to the hitting surface to boost maneuverability and shot accuracy.
