Selkirk Sport Halo Pro Pickleball Paddle - Blue XL

Previous paddle had questionable strength and may have been worn. The new one has power and accuracy,

I bought this based on a "demo" paddle that I tried. The actual paddle does not perform like the "demo" paddle which was a surprise to me. I have used it in a number of games to get a good feel and I probably will go back to my old paddle. Sorry this isn't for me.

A great step up from my EVO XL which itself was a great paddle for a beginner like myself. After a year my instructor recommended the Halo Pro XL and I couldn't be happier with its performance.

I am pretty new to the game, so take this review with a grain of salt. I enjoy the long neck of the paddle, and it has a crazy ability to put lots of topspin on the ball. Also, SUPE is lightweight if you like that.

This is an upgrade to my previous paddle. Don't get me wrong, my first paddle was decent as well, but as my game has progressed and started understanding my style of play, I needed a paddle that catered to it. Paddle is a good all-around paddle with a little more power than my current one. Also, the textured surface helps to provide more spin as well. I like the sound and feel of this paddle better and would most likely buy it again, unless there is a technology change worth chasing in the future.

Love the feel...added a little weight cause I like a little more power but great feel on this paddle

I've used this paddle for about three days and like the feel of it. I was looking for a paddle with a longer handle and this one is great. I do feel I have more control with some of my shots. However, I'm a beginner and was looking to upgrade from the cheap paddle I had before.

Great paddle! Will probably purchase a second one in the fall.

Replaced my SLK POWER 13MM XL. Definitely a difference with my play.

First opportunity to try this new paddle with mixed reviews. It has less power than I expected with my 2 year old Z5 needing less effort to hit the ball - serves and returns are not as strong with the Halo. It does however seem to provide more control than I had before with fewer shots going out. At times in the past I didn't know where the ball was going on fast rallies. I also really like the longer & thicker handle than I had before as well as the extra reach with the XL shape. Hopefully after adjusting I will keep this paddle and improve my game with it.

Great grip and length of paddle. I play better and can get more balls back that I can't believe sometimes!! Absolutely my favorite paddle so far and I have many!!

Wanted to develop my two handed backhand. Good power and face creates exceptional spin. very good value for the cost.

Switch back to Selkirk from a different brand. This paddle offers more control, consistency, touch and spin. Really happy with this decision.

Switched back to Selkirk. This is an awesome new paddle.

Recently bought this paddle , have used it for a few days now on outside courts ! It’s definitely an upgrade from my previous paddle… I definitely recommend this paddle

Excellent combination of power, manueverability and control. Great all court paddle. It helped tremendously with my consistancy. Sweetspot is large for a longer paddle .

I had a Joola paddle, which I liked, but it had too much "pop," and the sweet spot was pretty small, resulting in mishits. This paddle has a little less "pop" but more control with a larger sweet spot, so for my game, it's perfect. I don't want to give the impression that this paddle is for a beginner or older person (I'm 64). I can hang with 4.5/5.0 players using it. If you are looking for max power or max control, then it's probably not for you. But if you like a nice mix of both, don't hesitate to buy.

Awesome First time playing with it and like it a lot!

This paddle instantly became my favorite and main paddle for both playing and coaching. It is a perfect blend of control, touch, spin, and power. I feel like I have pin-point control, incredibly placed resets, and perfect touch with drops and drives. I added weight to the head and sweet-spot side to give some more whipe and stability, and I have to say that cosmetically it looks absolutely beautiful .

Very impressed with the paddle. Light, but with plenty of power and maneuverability at the kitchen line when under fire from opponents.
