Product Description
Driven by a love of the game, Selkirk has a singular passion: to lead the Pickleball industry in innovation, design, and performance. The game matters to us. Our community matters to us. So we pinpointed what matters most in Pickleball: speed and consistency. Determined to deliver the unwavering speed and consistency you need to take your Pickleball game to another level, we dared to envision the future of pickleball paddles. We believed that Carbon Fiber technology had not yet shown its true colors in our industry, so we set out to change that. We took on the largest research and development effort the industry has perhaps ever known. Our engineers developed a proprietary QuadCarbon technoligy 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. VANGUARD by Selkirk was born. More than a performance paddle, the VANGUARD is the next frontier.

For Vanguard to achieve a higher level of performance, we hand-selected a natural carbon fiber weave to use with our QuadCarbon technology. As a result, some paddles produced have minor markings on the face. These markings do not affect performance in any way, but just alter the aesthetics of the paddle, and allow us to offer our cutting-edge Vanguard technology at a discounted price.
