Dead Spots All Over

Sweet spot is extremely small and the ball just dies when hit off center. Weird for a paddle that has control in its name. Maybe I got a bad paddle but I can’t recommend this paddle. I’m not a pro by any means which is why I wanted a control paddle. My wife loves the luxx paddle which is what I should have bought.

New Paddle

I noticed the paddle face is not square to the handle. I built a “jig” in my shop with a carpenter square and clamps, and measured the Invikta and 8 other paddles. I found that all the other paddles are square, with the exception of the Invikta and Epic paddles. (I’ve seen other Invikta paddles, and they are also out of square.) My Invikta is out of square ~1/4”. So one side of closed, the other side is open. So, I’ve found that I can only play with one side, the “closed” side. Is the paddle manufactured this way intentionally? If so what is the advantage?

Paddle

I have always used the Epic. I bought the Ivikta hoping the longer handle would benefit my game. I find it has less control.

Vanguard Control

Opted for the lightweight model. I currently have four other Selkirk paddles and this is my favorite. My serves have more pace behind them , and double hand backhands have improved due to the elongated shape. The spins this paddle can create are incredible.

Love My New Paddle!

I had the Epic paddle previously and love my new Invikta. Everyone that picks it up remarks how light it is. Just wish that you offered more colors.
