VANGUARD 2.0 Hybrid Epic Paddle

The VANGUARD Hybrid 2.0 Epic Paddle features a wide face with a slightly elongated handle, plus some of Selkirk's finest engineering and materials. The 2.0 model brings to the table a Gen2 Durable Surface enhance by Selkirk's Pro-Spin texture that holds up over time, and sends pickleballs off with a well-defined curve in their trajectory. It also leverages a quantum carbon fiber face material which creates exceptionally consistent responsiveness across the face.

The VANGUARD 2.0 Epic Paddle has a 5-1/4" handle length, with a medium 4-1/4" circumference, wrapped in Selkirk's popular Geo Grip known for it's light tackiness and moisture-absorption. The paddle may be ordered in a light 7.3 - 7.7 oz. weight range, or a 7.8 - 8.3 oz. midweight range. An 8" overall width and 15-3/4" overall length combine to offer a broad sweet spot, in addition to the 5/8" thick X5 polymer honeycomb core which reduces impact vibration and improves ball control.

The VANGUARD Hybrid 2.0 Epic Pickleball Paddle from Selkirk provides a new level of durability and versatility to players who want a powerful option that can keep pace with their game.

Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1/8".

    I like my original Vanguard 2.0 Epic so much that I purchased a 2nd one a year later, even after trialing other paddles. It's combo of power and control is hard to beat!

    My only disappointment is I thought it was a long handle and it’s not. Not sure where I was under the impression. I specifically ordered a new paddle for a long handle.

    I've played two days with this new paddle. You can see a chip in the paint on both faces of the paddle marking the location of every ball strike. And it's not the balls -- our club plays with only The Selkirk Pro S1 balls. Never had a problem with a Selkirk paddle before.***PBC Response*** Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! We know that not every paddle will be right for every player which is why we offer our 30-day no questions asked test drive allowing you to send the paddle back within 30 days of arrival for any reason at all.

  • Much improved for control when dinking, but no distinguishable power from its predecessor.

    I had the opportunity to try a number of Selkirk paddles and this one fit my game perfectly. It has more control and accuracy than other Selkirks I tried. It is not a power paddle at all but has great ball feel and a good sweet spot.
