The Selkirk Vanguard Pro Epic pickleball paddle is thermoformed, with the traditional Epic shape, for players who seek control, heavy spin and versatility across the whole court. The face is four-layer raw 12K carbon, which grips the ball and generates aggressive topspin, and the core is 16 mm X5+ polypropylene honeycomb, with the FlexFoam foam perimeter, which enlarges the sweet spot. It is 15.875 in long, with a 5.25 in handle, a 4.25 in grip and an average weight of 8.0 oz, with USAPA approval.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%61
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.
