The Selkirk SLK EVO Power XL is widely praised as an excellent value paddle that delivers solid power and spin across beginner to advanced beginner skill levels.

Great Paddle: I bought this paddle about three weeks ago and it performs very well. Good grit to spin and still a lot of power. In spite of the fact that dicks would not allow me to use my $20 off coupon

Great weight and added grip.: I upgraded from the evo 2.0 Control paddle. I wanted to try something with more power and spin. . So far have played 12 games and I really love the upgrade. I can feel the power on my deep returns and I love the absorption of the carbon face. I highly recommend this paddle

Nice beginner/intermediate paddle: I bought this for a friend as they are becoming a intermediate player. I tried it out myself and really liked the way it played. Good pop when needed and gave some good spin. Little hard to control at the kitchen line for me but all in all a good paddle. I let a few people (beginners) try it also and they ordered it for themselves.
