VANGUARD POWER AIR S2

The Vanguard Power Air S2 pickleball paddle is the top choice for power players. Designed to generate maximum spin for controlled, aggressive drives, it features a large face and larger sweet spot than traditional power paddles, allowing for difficult-to-return shots and superior ball spin. With its S2 shape featuring a short handle and the largest face among Selkirk pickleball paddles, this paddle ensures the most extensive sweet spot for enhanced consistency. It is particularly well-suited for committed pickleball and table tennis enthusiasts.

S2 | Standard Paddle Shape with Short Handle

Featuring the largest sweet spot of all Selkirk paddle shapes, the S2 provides amplified power and reliable consistency. Its traditional shape and extra large surface area pairs with a shorter handle to offer players ultimate control on the court.

Air Dynamic Throat for quicker swing speed

Developed in Selkirk Labs with Project 002 and fine-tuned to provide maximum flex, the Air Dynamic Throat is now larger and even closer to the handle, offering optimal air flow and improved ball control.

ThroatFlex for more power and dwell time

Created to provide maximum flex when you connect with the ball, our new ThoatFlex open throat design extends dwell time on the paddle and enhances power play, for unbeatable consistency.

ProSpin+ NextGen Texture for long-lasting maximum spin surface

Formulated in Selkirk Labs to generate more spin than any technology on the market, our ProSpin+ NextGen Micro Texture technology features a longer-lasting spin surface and provides unparalleled consistency, ensuring you can shape and control the ball with ease, to dominate on the court.

QuadFlex 4 Layer Hybrid Face for power & control

Initiated in Selkirk Labs with Project 002, the QuadFlex 4 Layer Hybrid Face features a first-of-its-kind blend of two layers of Fiberflex and two layers of Quantum+ carbon, for effortless power and control.

360° Proto Molding for power and consistent sweetspot

Engineered to provide 360 degree composite coverage, using a proprietary high pressure manufacturing process, 360° Proto Molding technology generates ultimate power, while delivering a consistent feel on every play.

Aero-DuraEdge Edgeless Technology for increased durability and aerodynamics

Introduced to increase edge reliability alongside the FlexFoam edge perimeter, Aero-DuraEdge Edgeless technology is composed of our specialty, impact resistant blend of composites and polymer.

FlexFoam Perimeter for power, durability and a larger sweetspot

Achieved by injecting specially formulated foam into the entire perimeter of the paddle, our FlexFoam Perimeter technology increases durability, adds weight, enlarges the sweet spot, and absorbs the vibrations from every hit, for a stable, reliable feel. This technology was originally developed in Selkirk Labs for Project 002.
