Is this paddle good for beginners?

Yes. Selkirk rates it for beginner to intermediate players, and the wide body and large sweet spot make it forgiving while you learn.

What is the core and face made of?

It uses a 13mm SX4 polymer core with a FiberLux fiberglass face, which gives a balanced mix of power and control.

No. The paddle ships without a cover, so you would need to buy one separately if you want protection.

Fiberglass gives more pop and a softer feel, but carbon faces generally offer more spin and durability. This paddle favors forgiveness over spin.

The grip circumference is 4.25 inches with a 4.85-inch handle, which suits most adult hands.

Not really. It is aimed at beginners and intermediates; advanced players usually want more spin, touch and control.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 5 ratings.
