Selkirk Sport SLK Halo Raw Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle | Designed in The USA | Choose The T700 Raw Carbon Fiber Power, 18k Ultraweave Control, or Aramid Fiber Linkweave Thermoformed Pro

This paddle is easy to hold and play with right away. Light weight which was great for me at the kitchen line during hand battles. However when defending a fast ball from the midcourt there was a lack of cushioning and stability for me but that may just be user error. Grip is extra tacky which is not great for someone like me who changes grip on backhands but great for others I'm sure. Overall, very happy with this paddle. I have the Omega Hybrid Air previously and that had noticeably more power which I loved but my wrist felt the reverberations after a few games so I would have to switch paddles to finish the night. I also have the Halo Control XL which lacked a little power after coming from the Omega so I kept searching. This Halo Power Max is a happy in between of the two. It has some power and it has some control. Very maneuverable. I switch between Halo Power Max and the Halo Control XL because I miss the length and the cushioning sometimes, especially when playing against bangers. All the SLK paddles have been very good, I've been very happy with the ones I've tried. Would definitely recommend the Halo Power Max.

I've been playing pickleball for a few years now, and the Selkirk SLK Halo Power MAX is by far one of the most impressive paddles I’ve used. Right out of the box, you can tell this is a high-quality paddle – the raw carbon fiber face gives it a sleek, premium feel, and it translates directly into performance on the court. Spin & Control: The textured carbon fiber surface generates incredible spin. Whether I’m going for topspin drives or cut shots, the paddle bites the ball beautifully and gives me precise control over my placement. Power: Thanks to the Rev-Core Power polymer core, there’s no shortage of pop. It has a solid, slightly head-heavy feel that delivers powerful groundstrokes without feeling too stiff or unmanageable. You can drive the ball deep with ease and still finesse your dinks at the net. Comfort & Build: The grip is comfortable for long sessions – tacky enough for control but doesn’t get slippery. The paddle also absorbs shock well, so I haven’t experienced any wrist or elbow fatigue even after extended play. Final Thoughts: If you're a serious player looking to level up your game with a paddle that offers elite spin, power, and control, the SLK Halo Power MAX is worth every penny. It's ideal for intermediate to advanced players who want that extra edge in aggressive, fast-paced play.

This paddle has really helped improve my game! Feels really good in my hand, absorbed some of the “shock” of the hit, and is really easy to craft your shot with this. I prefer this paddle of some $300 paddle I’ve used before.

This is a high quality racquet. It offers greater control than a beginners racket. The control helps with making more forceful serves and returns.

super happy with this paddle... is a game changer, weight is light, its amazing for battles in the kitchen, super strong pop, just be aware the sweet spot is very reduced , so if you are a beginner I do not recommend this version 13mm, topspin is decent or I would say ok, out there! are better paddles for topspin, but also I would say if u are good placing shots in specific spot this paddle is good for that!

Fantastic paddle and great price!

Very good paddle. I needed a paddle with longer handle for my 2 hands backhand. It has power and control. I really love it!

A Paddle That Actually Elevated My Game I’ve always been skeptical of people who say new gear makes them play better. I figured practice and footwork mattered way more than equipment. But after using this paddle, I have to admit—it really did take my game to another level. What stood out right away was the control. The paddle has a nice balance in the hand, not too heavy or too light, and I noticed I could place shots with much more accuracy than before. My dinks stayed low, my resets felt smoother, and I was suddenly keeping points alive that I used to lose. The textured carbon face gives the ball a bite, so I can shape shots with spin that I just couldn’t generate with my old paddle. Power-wise, it doesn’t feel like an oversized sledgehammer—it’s not the type of paddle that just blasts the ball—but there’s plenty of pop when you need it. Drives come off clean, volleys are crisp, and it has enough punch at the net to finish points. The handle length felt natural for two-handed backhands, and the grip stayed comfortable even during long sessions. I also appreciated how the grip absorbed sweat and didn’t feel slippery, even after a couple hours of play in warm weather. The one thing I’d mention for others is that this paddle leans more toward control than raw power, so if you like a really aggressive, power-dominant game, you might want to know that going in. For me, that tradeoff worked perfectly—I wanted consistency first, and I got it. Durability also seems good so far, as the edge guard and surface have held up after plenty of play without chipping or peeling. Bottom line: I went into this thinking a new paddle wouldn’t change much, and I came out convinced. This paddle genuinely gave me better control, more spin, and enough power to round out my game. It’s the first time I can say equipment made me a better player.

Good paddle that gives you an appropriate feel of the ball and control. Start off your pickleball journey with the right equipment.

Aparte de que no fue el producto que pedí , estaba usado 😡

This is my first try of an 'all court' paddle. I've been using a Joola Ben Johns Hypersion (14mm) for the past 3 yrs which I enjoyed very much. My only issue was I found it had a lot of pop and my shots would often go out of bounds. I controlled the pop using lead tapes and it worked fine. I am not a power player, (but like power on serves) but more so a control\ touch player and consider myself 'quick' at the kitchen area and agile (given my age of 77). I play against many very good players much younger then me and I can hold my own and often outplay them. The first thing I noticed with the SLK was it's balance and feel. I've only been using it for approx. 2 weeks so far. It allows great maneuverability and I'm able to place my shots much better and more frequently then the Joola. It has the right amount of pop and allows me the power I need on my serves and returns. I was considering another Joola, but as it turns out my decision to get the SLK was the best decision. I think the SLK offers me better play at a cheaper price point. In the past I've also had the Selkirk EPIC and an ONIX. By far, I find the SLK Halo PRO the better paddle for me. My only complaint is with the color combinations. I love the color of the paddle face I bought, but wish I had an option for other colors pertaining to the edge guard and grip. (ie. gray, black, even faux leather in brown. If you are wanting an all around paddle I would recommend this one.

Really nice pickle paddle, texture gives a lot of spin potential plus great feel,power quite sufficient 💪💪💪

Senior. Beginner The additional. .4” of reach at 16.4” has surprised me. Suddenly I was able to do “decent” sustained mini rallies and return with greater ease without feeling that I sacrificed forgiveness for its narrower 7.4” width shape. I was initially worried that XL swing weight of 120 may be too high compared to the Max’s 110, but the short gameplays haven’t shown up a strain yet. Haven’t had many fast dink rallies at the net either to notice any lag in manoeuvrability. In the long run perhaps the Control Max would be more suitable but the legwork with have to compensate for the shorter reach.
