??

I enjoy playing with it so far. Lighter than my previous paddles. Seems to give me more power and is more responsive. The handle seems very slightly larger than the demo I tried out. Still getting used to playing with it.

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.
