%The Selkirk Vanguard Power Air S2 Widebody is a strong fit for aggressive players who want to put serious pace on drives and baseline volleys. It delivers great hand speed at the kitchen line thanks to its aerodynamic build and wider shape. However, the stiffer face means you will need to put in extra work on soft dinks and resets. If you have solid mechanics and want heavy power without feeling sluggish at the net, this paddle is worth a serious look.
