VANGUARD Hybrid S2 Pickleball Paddle

The VANGUARD Hybrid S2 Paddle has a broad face so players can enjoy the VANGUARD line's largest sweet spot. If you want touch, pop and power in an agile and comfortable package, this paddle is the way to go. The Hybrid S2 uses the same dimensions as the original Prime and Amped models but has the VANGUARD upgraded features including the carbon fiber surface, unique new edge guard and the Geo grip. The face is made with a bi-directional carbon fiber that uses two layers on each side of the paddle to create the exceptional sweet spot. This creates a super reinforced design for more consistency, defense and feel.

The VANGUARD Hybrid S2 Paddle uses a low profile edge guard that protects your equipment while reducing the chances for mis-hits. The Geo grip on the handle was made specifically for the VANGUARD line and has excellent moisture-wicking properties, better traction and comfort. The Hybrid S2 has a thick X5 poly core that reduces vibrations and provides a pleasantly soft touch. It comes in two weights, the lightweight at 7.5 - 7.9 oz and the midweight at 7.8 - 8.3 oz.

The Vanguard Hybrid S2 Paddle keeps you closely connected to the action so you can feel every hit while controlling pickleballs without any strain.

Reviews of the Selkirk S2 VANGUARD Pickleball Paddle by Pickleball Central Staff & Local Club Members:

"Selkirk’s largest sweet spot just got bigger. The Vanguard S2 expands on the biggest advantage of the S2 shape – hitting surface and sweet spot. The combination of the new carbon fiber (aka graphite) face and incredibly successful X5 core (from the famous AMPED Series) is incredible. This paddle is more forgiving with one of the largest hitting surfaces in the game. I believe that the AMPED S2 will continue to be popular with players who like the shape and are looking for a bit of extra power. (The fiberglass face of the AMPED paddles has more pop off the face.) However, for fans of the S2 who are looking for a little softer play, more ball feel, and a bit more control, the Vanguard S2 is it!"
John, Sales Director (4.0 Player)

"I tried the lightweight models of the new VANGUARD paddles. I used to play with the Selkirk AMPED Omni, which I love. I feel like Selkirk’s new VANGUARD Hybrid construction on provides a softer feel than the AMPED – the new X5 QuadCarbon woven carbon fiber face enhances ball feel and touch, giving excellent control and lots of power. The sweet spot is great – wherever I made contact with the ball it felt good. I also love the texture. I like to use spin on my shots and these paddles enhanced my spin control. The S2 shape is perfect for someone who wants to maximize the width of the available hitting surface, but prefers a shorter handle. If you want a longer handle, check out the Epic. If you want a longer paddle that is more head biased on balance, check out the Invikta."
