The Selkirk VANGUARD Power Air pickleball paddle is the result of over two years of research and development in partnership with renowned pickleball professionals, addressing the need for power and spin.
As professional pickleball increasingly focused on power and spin over the past two years, the community discovered the benefits of these elements, particularly in dominating opponents. The VANGUARD Power Air technology was developed to support these players and provide a paddle that allows them to fully control the court, delivering performance power and maximum spin.
The first iteration of this technology was developed in Selkirk Labs and launched under the name Project 002. Power Air optimizes the 002, offering additional control from the SuperCore, improved consistency with 360° Proto Molding, and superior aerodynamics and edge durability with Edgeless Aero-DuraEdge technology.
