The Selkirk Vanguard Control S2 receives the same improvements as the Epic and Invikta Control paddles, with the S2 featuring the most compact and maneuverable shape of the series. Its 15.7- inch overall length delivers ultimate control of its substantial power, along with a rewarding and connected feel to your shots. On average, the Control S2 is the heavier of the three Vanguard Control paddle options, ranging from 7.7 8.3 ounces, which keeps the paddle steady, comfortable and predictable against heavy ball pace and in windy conditions. Selkirk s modified 16mm X5+ Polypropylene Core further increases the S2 Control s premium feel and returns a manageable degree of power back to the ball. Selkirk enhances the Vanguard Control S2 s overall precision with its T700 Raw QuadCarbon surface technology, which layers two plies of raw carbon fiber on each side of the paddle face, to offer some of the most consistent, and long lasting spin potential. This combo also improves surface durability and minimizes the acoustic response at impact of the ball. Intermediate to advanced level players who want an elite level, spin friendly all-court paddle in a compact shape will certainly enjoy the feel and performance of the Selkirk Vanguard Control S2.
