VANGUARD

noun 

1. THE LEADER IN A MOVEMENT OF NEW DEVELOPMENTS OR IDEAS

2. THE FOREFRONT OF INNOVATION AND ADVANCEMENT

>>The VANGUARD Story

The status quo is the enemy 

Driven by a love of the game, Selkirk has a singular passion: to lead the Pickleball industry in innovation, design, and performance. The game matters to them. Their community matters to them. So they pinpointed what matters most in Pickleball: speed and consistency. 

Determined to deliver the unwavering speed and consistency you need to take your Pickleball game to another level, Selkirk dared to envision the future of Pickleball paddles. 

They believed that Carbon Fibre technology had not yet shown its true colours in the pickleball industry, so they set out to change that. Selkirk took on the largest research and development effort the industry has perhaps ever known. Their engineers developed a proprietary QuadCarbon technology with two layers of carbon fibre on each side, instead of just one. This unique approach delivers a paddle like no other that gives you ultimate consistency, accelerated ball velocity, an extra large sweet spot, maximum spin, and perfect feel.

VANGUARD by Selkirk was born. 

More than a performance paddle, the VANGUARD is the new frontier. 

VANGUARD HYBRID  Accelerated speed and unparalleled consistency for another level of performance. Recommended for most Pickleball players, from beginner to pro. Available in midweight and lightweight designs.

TECHNOLOGY:

QUADCARBON FACE

Designed to achieve a larger sweet spot and longer resonance time, the VANGUARD face features proprietary bi-directional, cross-weave carbon fibre technology in two seamless layers, on both sides of the paddle. The double layer provides twice the stiffness in all directions, flattening the ball more on each hit, to give you consistency, maximum spin, and perfect feel.

X5 HONEYCOMB

Thick Poly Core Built for consistent speed, using advanced polypropylene honeycomb technology, the VANGUARD core works in conjunction with the revolutionary QuadCarbon Face to absorb the vibration from each hit and yield unwavering speed. The thicker core of the VANGUARD Hybrid transfers more energy into the core, giving you a larger sweet spot and a softer feel.
