VANGUARD Hybrid Invikta Paddle

Description

VANGUARD Hybrid Invikta Pickleball Paddle The VANGUARD Hybrid Invikta Paddle is ideal for full court coverage and expansive reach thanks to its elongated shape. The Invikta shaped design developed its reputation as a paddle for players who like some extra power due to it’s slightly head-biased weighting, and it’s longer handle, allowing players to strike the ball slightly further away from their body. This allows you to generate a larger swing arc, and hence higher impact speeds. This new VANGUARD Hybrid Series paddle takes advantage of a number of new technological improvements, through the inclusion of a new grip, edge guard and double layered carbon fiber (graphite) face. The “geo grip” is highly cushioned and was launched specifically for the VANGUARD line. It has a high level of moisture absorption and tack. The QuadCarbon fiber surface uses two layers of woven carbon fiber on each side of the paddle (for a total of four layers) to create consistent play and exceptional durability. Testers describe the sweet spot changes from the new face material as “amazing”, and “transformative”, giving the VANGUARD Hybrid Invikta a sweet spot that is much larger, coming further down the face than ever before. This gives you the extra reach and power the Inviktas are known for, with more defensive blocking capability and ball working control when striking the ball closer to the handle. The edge guard is light weight with a slender profile so it keeps your paddle safe but helps minimize mis-hits. The VANGUARD Hybrid Invikta Paddle comes in a light weight range at 7.5 – 7.8 oz and a standard at 7.7 – 8.2 oz. It uses the thick X5 polymer core to create a soft, dampened feel that improves dinks and controlled shots like thirds, while still maintaining power for put-away shots. The sleek design features the Selkirk “S” logo in the center with the paddle’s name outlined below. The VANGUARD Hybrid Invikta Paddle is for players who want to be able to do it all with ease, comfort, and speed.

Note about the Vanguard Paddle paint finish: Our testers have reported quick wear of the paint finish on these paddles. This is normal, and does not affect the performance of the paddle. Selkirk and Pickleball Central ask you to understand that this is not considered a defect in the product. See image below for “normal wear” example. If you feel your Vanguard paddle ever experiences abnormal or excessive wear or flaking of the paint, please contact Customer Service.
