Who It's For
This paddle suits players who prefer attacking play and want extra power on deep and wide shots.

FAQ
Is the Selkirk SLK Era Power Elongated good for beginners?
It is built for players who already have solid fundamentals. Beginners may find the power and swing weight easier to manage with a more forgiving paddle, but intermediate players will get the most from it.
What makes the elongated shape different?
The longer shape adds reach and swing power, which helps on deep balls and wide shots. The trade-off is a slightly heavier feel in the hand compared with a standard shape.
