SLK ERA Power Elongated Pickleball Paddle

Overview
Selkirk's first 16 mm power paddle with an extended 5.8" handle, offering a rare blend of pop, forgiveness, and spin straight out of the box.
We tested the ERA Power Elongated against several top-tier paddles across power, control, and touch - and this one stood out for its balance. While other paddles might dominate one category, the ERA Power gave us a well-rounded performance without any added weight or tuning.
That longer 5.8" handle stands out - not just because it's great for two-handed backhands, but because it's paired with a thicker 16 mm core. Usually in the power category, players are forced to choose: long handle or thick core. It's rare to see both in one paddle, and Selkirk has managed to deliver on both fronts here.
The surface blends fiberglass and raw carbon fiber, which adds enough spin and grip to shape shots while still feeling crisp. And the foam-injected perimeter - what Selkirk calls a Dynamic Fusion Core - helps expand the sweet spot and reduce twisting on off-center hits.
If you're an intermediate to advanced player who wants to attack without sacrificing forgiveness, the ERA Power Elongated delivers a complete feel from day one.
