The Selkirk Vanguard 2.0 Omni face delivers more spin, speed and consistency. Developed with the help of SelkirkPro and US Open Champion Glen Peterson, the Selkirk Omni paddle has an elongated shape with a short handle. The shorter handle allows the Omni to have a bigger surface area and, therefore, a larger sweet spot than traditional elongated paddles that are skinnier. Many players who want an elongated paddle with better control will use the Omni in doubles play. Table tennis players and people who play with their finger on the paddle also gravitate towards the Omni because of its shorter handle that doesn’t get in the way. If you need the reach of an elongated paddle without sacrificing consistency and a nice sweet spot, the Selkirk Omni shape is ideal for you.
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.
