    Great paddle

    Wife loves her new paddle. It would be nice if the prestige color would also be available and other paddles for the other ladies out there.

    Paddle rating

    Been dialing the power air Invikta paddle in, starting to be my go to paddle, I have the Lux Control and Amped paddles that I started with. With the help of my Shape Up Paddles that I have been using for strengthening and stretching as a workout and to warmup with, I can tell my skill level has improved significantly.

    More than pleased

    Big sweet spot and naturally, easily obtained pop without overswinging. It still gives me plenty of spin and control. Very happy with purchase.

    Pickleball Paddle Shape Guide

    S2

    Epic

    Invikta

    S2

    The most control and precision

    Ideal for pickleball players who want the most control potential. This shape is also great for players coming over from a table tennis background because it most closely resembles a ping pong paddle.

    Epic

    Versatile and balanced

    Ideal for beginners to seasoned pros, and tennis players transitioning to pickleball. Some players prefer this shape, while others who don’t have a preference opt for it as a way to continue learning their preferences.

    Invikta

    Extend your reach and create more power

    Ideal for intermediate to pro players who have an aggressive play style, like more room for a two-handed grip, and want more reach.
