Version · 9 optionsVanguard Power Air InviktaChange

The Vanguard Power Air Invikta was for a long time Selkirk's best-selling power paddle and is the evolution of the LABS Project 002 prototype. The face blends fiberglass and carbon, the core is 13 mm honeycomb polymer and the edge is Edgeless DuraEdge, which makes the head more aerodynamic. The elongated shape measures 16.5 x 7.375 inches, weighs 7.7 to 8.1 oz and has a 5.25-inch handle, a combination that gives reach, fast ball exit and a lot of spin for players who play aggressively from the baseline and in singles.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%65
Approval from players35%65

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. 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.
