Great Control Paddle

I am very pleased with the control from this paddle. If you are looking for a power paddle, look at the Halo Power. The carbon face allows for greater spin and control. This fits my game well as I am trying to work on my soft game.

New Halo xl

I have ordered many of the original halo xl paddles. I love them all. And of course had to have the new model. The weight is great. Very balanced and the spin is effortless.

Love this paddle

This is a more responsive paddle than my previous one. In fact, I have to dial down some shots! Even though I'm not a 2-handed back-hander, I like the longer handle as I feel it gives more "oomph" to a shot.

Great Control! A little less on the power.

This paddle has excellent control, the power is a little under the medium side , but great for those who are not into heavier paddles!

Pickleball Paddle Shape Guide

Max

XL

Max

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. The SLK Max shape is most similar to the Selkirk Epic shape.

XL

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. The SLK XL shape is most similar to the Selkirk Invikta shape.
