Selkirk
The VANGUARD Power Air Invikta Paddle receives overwhelmingly positive reviews, with most users praising its exceptional power, spin, and responsive feel. The extended length and lightweight design appeal to many players, and reviewers consistently report improved game performance. However, some users note control trade-offs, a small sweet spot in certain cases, quick surface wear, and the premium price point as drawbacks.

Love my new paddle!: I bought this new paddle a few weeks from advice from some friends and it was a great purchase. I am getting both more accuracy and spin from my new paddle. I am amazed on how much my better my top spin shots are versus my old paddle. Great paddle!

Great!: Shape is awesome, personally prefer the longer narrower paddle and this is right up that alley.

such an upgrade: I had a entry-level Selkirk paddle and this was such an upgrade. It is so fast and has such good angles. Other reviews are right- it may take a practice or two to get adjusted, but that should be expected. Really like it!

Plenty of POP!: This paddle had unparralled POP! I wants in love with the shape though and would prefer the EPIC. Also, was not a huge fan of the grip, but some overgrip helped.

Power: I am loving my new paddle as it gives me the power I was lacking.

Invicta: The pop/power is quite evident, but the grit on the pedal allows for a great spin, which I really enjoy. Everything is right about it.

Best Paddle!: I bought this paddle to improve my game and it really has in a short time, I was using a different brand and composite paddle before. I highly recommend this Selkirk Paddle as my game game has improved 100%! It is an investment, but as I mentioned, worth it!

Pickleball Paddle : The Vanguard Air Ivanka Pickleball paddle that I purchased purchased has great control, power and spin. After an initial game or two and getting used to it I am very pleased with the way it functions.

Power Air Invikta: I was loaned this paddle and was told that it might take a week to get used to the feel and to dial it in. Within a few games I knew this was my next purchase. The ball pops off this thinner paddle design with a lot of speed. However what surprised me was the control I still felt with this paddle. Many of my friends have now bought this model too. #SelkirkAdvocate

Selkirk Power Air Invikta is now my favorite: I was loaned this paddle and was told that it might take a week to get used to the feel and to dial it in. Within a few games I knew this was my next purchase. The ball pops off this thinner paddle design with a lot of speed. However what surprised me was the control I still felt with this paddle. Many of my better player friends have now bought this too. #SelkirkAdvocate

Paddle review: The Selkirk power air just didn't feel good in my hands during play. It didn't hit like I thought it would. Of course this is a personal opinion. I have an Engage pursuit ultra MX and I love how that plays and hits!

Vanguard Power Air Invikta PickleBall Racquet: I LOVE this racquet and there is no doubt that it has improved my game. I am an intermediate player and it has kicked me up a notch. I am 70 years old and it has increased my power shots. The control is great also. The only thing I don’t like about it, and it’s very minor, is that the grip is white. I have to scrub it with water after each usage. I am careful not to have lotion on my hands, as well. Other than than, it is a super racquet.

Best paddle I've ever owned!: Amazing power plus control, spin, also great for soft game dinking & lobs. I am more confident on the court and have improved my level of play (3.5-3.8) with the Invikta Air. I do have TWO complaints: 1) The surface paint wears quickly, especially with outdoor play, but luckily does not affect performance. Still the paddle looks OLD after just several weeks of use. 2) I want to buy another but Selkirk will NOT let me select the weight I want! For the price

Selkirk Vanguard Invikta Power Air : First and foremost, it is important to note that the Selkirk Vanguard Invikta Power Air paddle is designed for power and control. This is achieved through a combination of features, including a larger sweet spot, a longer handle, and a unique polymer core. The paddle also boasts a sleek and modern design that is sure to turn heads on the court. One of the most impressive features of the Selkirk Vanguard Invikta Power Air paddle is the larger sweet spot. Th

Selkirk Invikta Power Air: i like how light it is but I do not like the sound it makes - also it is a harder hit because of the lack of thickness.

Selkirk Invikta Power Air: Great new paddle for me. I’m a 4-4.5 rated player. 35 y/o and 6ft tall and I love everything about this paddle. Great pop on my drives but also great control when dinking. I do recommend also purchasing the Selkirk 20mm edge tape but absolutely no complaints with this paddle!

Truly Exceptional. Perfect fit for the tennis player: My wife is a huge fan. The extended length has made all the difference. Transitioning from the bounce of a tennis ball and the difference in a pickleball has been a challenge for her. With the Selkirk Invikta, the transition has become easier to embrace. Pricey but given the benefit and improved play, more than worth the price.

Great spin and pop: Bought this paddle for my wife because she wanted something edge less. She loves it. I finally played with it for the first time today and was very impressed. I’m was getting way more spin and the power was impressive. Maybe have up a little touch/control but still performed okay there too. I would definitely recommend this paddle. It might be a little bit light for me but otherwise this paddle really was impressive. It was at the top end of my price range but I would say it
