It combines a hybrid fiberglass and carbon face, a 13 mm honeycomb polymer core, and an Edgeless DuraEdge edge, with no edge guard, with an air opening in the throat to speed up the swing. It measures 15.75 x 8 inches, weighs 7.7 to 8.1 oz, and has the largest sweet spot in the Selkirk line. It is a power and spin paddle, assembled in the USA.

A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy. ## Store reviews We have not gathered store ratings for this racquet yet.
