The result of more than two years of research and development, in partnership with the best pickleball professionals, the Selkirk VANGUARD Power Air pickleball racket meets the needs for power and spin.

As professional pickleball has increasingly focused on power and spin over the past couple of years, the broader community has discovered the benefits of both, particularly in dominating opponents. VANGUARD Power Air technology was developed to support these players and provide them with a racquet that offers total court control, performance power and maximum spin.

The first version of this technology was developed within Selkirk Laboratories and launched as Project 002. With feedback from lab members, Power Air is optimizing the 002, delivering increased control through SuperCore, increased consistency through 360° protomolding, and next-level aerodynamics and edge durability through Aero-DuraEdge Edgeless technology.

• Generates maximum spin for controlled, aggressive strikes
• Features a wider sweet spot than traditional power rackets
• Generates hard-to-return shots with superior ball spin
• Delivers endless power, with surprising control
• Unquestionably the most aerodynamic of all Selkirk snowshoes
• The ideal racket for singles and tennis players

Air Dynamic Throat for Faster Swing Speed: Developed by Selkirk Labs with Project 002 and optimized for maximum flexibility, the Air Dynamic Throat is now wider and closer to the shaft, providing optimal airflow and better ball control.

ThroatFlex for More Power and Contact Time: Designed to provide maximum flexibility when hitting, our new ThoatFlex open throat design extends contact time on the racquet and improves the power play, for unbeatable consistency.

ProSpin+ NextGen Texture for Maximum, Long-Lasting Topspin: Formulated by Selkirk Labs to generate more spin than any other technology on the market, our ProSpin+ NextGen Micro Texture technology delivers more durable topspin and unmatched consistency, allowing you to shape and control the ball with ease and dominate the court.

QuadFlex 4-Layer Hybrid Face for More Power and Control: Pioneered by Selkirk Labs with Project 002, the QuadFlex 4-Layer Hybrid Face features a unique blend of two layers of Fiberflex and two layers of Quantum+ Carbon, for effortless power and control.

360° prototyping molding for more power and a consistent sweetspot: Designed to provide 360-degree composite coverage, thanks to an exclusive high-pressure manufacturing process, the 360° Proto

In-molding technology generates ultimate power, while providing consistent feel with every play.

Aero-DuraEdge Edgeless Technology for Increased Durability and Aerodynamics: Introduced to increase edge reliability, alongside the FlexFoam perimeter, Aero-DuraEdge Edgeless Technology is comprised of our special blend of impact-resistant composites and polymers.

FlexFoam Perimeter for more power, durability and a wider sweet spot: Achieved by injecting specially formulated foam around the entire perimeter of the racquet, our FlexFoam Perimeter technology increases durability, adds weight, widens the sweet spot and absorbs vibration with every strike, for a stable and reliable feel. This technology was initially developed by Selkirk Labs for Project 002.

SuperCore Polypropylene Honeycomb Core for a Consistent, Familiar Feel: Created for the QuadFlex face, the revolutionary SuperCore Polypropylene Honeycomb Core delivers exceptional power while improving ball control.

• Face: Hybrid blend of fiberglass and carbon fiber
