Many sports have different gear for beginners and more advanced players. SelKirk's SLK Halo pickleball paddles are good for either, making them ideal long-term investments. Available in Power Max and Control Max models, they have T700 Raw Carbon faces that maximize spin and control, with low-profile, lightweight, and durable edge guards. The polymer core of the Power model measures 13mm, while the Control has a slightly thicker 16mm version; the latter makes the ample sweet spot even larger. Both models pair their black faces with brown edge guards and comfortable SLK faux leather grips.
