Vanguard Pro Invikta
Elongated16mmGen-2Thermoformed
The Selkirk Vanguard Pro Invikta is a 16 mm elongated pickleball paddle with a thermoformed, 12K Carbon Fiber face. It generates low spin (14th percentile) with low power and below-average pop. It has a mid-range swing weight that balances power and maneuverability, but low twist weight, so off-center hits lose more pace. Overall it's a control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
