The Selkirk Vanguard 2.0 Maxima has an elongated surface area and a longer handle (5.623″). The updated, rounded edge shape allows players to pack a punch with less drag than other more square paddles while maintaining control.
In the new range of innovative, brilliantly designed Vanguard paddles, Selkirk pinpointed what matters most in Pickleball: speed + consistency
With the Vanguard paddles, Selkirk set out to explore Carbon Fiber technology. Their engineers developed a proprietary QuadCarbon technology with two layers of carbon fiber on each side, instead of just one. This unique approach delivers a paddle like no other that gives you ultimate consistency, accelerated ball velocity, an extra large sweet spot, maximum spin, and perfect feel.
WHAT’S NEW- Vanguard 2.0
Pro-Spin Texture: Engineered for optimal performance, the advanced Pro-Spin textured surface provides more spin than ever before.
Quantum-CarbonFiber Face: Proprietary bi-directional, cross-weave carbon fiber technology designed to achieve a larger sweet spot and longer resonance and provide consistency, maximum spin, and perfect feel.
Quantum-CarbonFiber: Utilized by leading spacecraft companies, the Carbon Fiber featured in the VANGUARD 2.0 face delivers superlative speed and consistency.
Gen2 Durable Surface: Designed for ultimate endurance, the Gen2 Durable Surface offers wear-resistance that outperforms previous generations.

FEATURES
X5 HONEYCOMB THICK POLY CORE: Built for consistent speed, using advanced polypropylene honeycomb technology, the VANGUARD core works in conjunction with the revolutionary QuadCarbon Face to absorb the vibration from each hit and yield unwavering speed. The thicker core of the VANGUARD Hybrid transfers more energy into the core, giving you a larger sweet spot and a softer feel.
