Selkirk Vanguard 2.0 Epic

The Epic is designed for players who value a balance between control and power. Its thick honeycomb core provides a softer, dampened feel that excels at the kitchen line, while the carbon fiber face offers enough responsiveness to put away overheads.

Weighing between 7.3 and 8.2 ounces, this paddle sits in the mid-weight category. This range is versatile enough to provide stability during volleys without feeling too heavy or sluggish during quick hand battles at the net.

Yes, the Pro-Spin texture is engineered to grip the ball upon contact. While it won't replace proper technique, it provides noticeable friction that helps you generate more topspin and slice compared to a standard smooth-faced paddle.

The grip circumference is 4.25 inches, which is a standard size that fits most players comfortably. If you prefer a thicker handle or need extra moisture absorption, you can easily apply an overgrip without making the handle feel too bulky.

The X5 core is thicker than many standard cores, which serves two purposes: it absorbs vibration to reduce impact shock on your arm and creates a larger sweet spot. This results in a more forgiving, consistent feel even on off-center hits.
