The Vanguard Pro is an elite, raw carbon all-court paddle with supreme spin. Featuring four layers of 12K raw carbon fiber - double the standard in other paddles - this model enhances feel and spin. 

Ideal for intermediate to advanced players, the VANGUARD Pro excels across the court. It delivers consistent performance whether you’re executing skill shots like drops and resets or powerful drives and put-aways. The paddle’s face offers a crisp, responsive feel on ball contact, enhancing the overall playing experience. Its responsiveness makes it a standout choice, offering excellent touch without being overly poppy, and delivering the all-court performance that you’re looking for.

Available in two paddle shapes:

Epic | Long handle & wider paddle head make it the perfect choice for players prioritising shot consistency and control.

Invikta | Extra long handle & longest paddle shape. You get the elongated shape, a large sweet spot, and an even longer handle for devastating power and decisive shots.
