This paddle was similar to another Selkirk that i raved about a few weeks ago. The long faced Invikta paddle is definitely a good paddle to extend reach and an encouragement to go for balls that you might give up on with another paddle.
Unlike the other Selkirk Invikta I reviewed this one has the standard size handle, so the leverage isn't there that a longer handle gives, so although it came close, it doesn't quite make the top 3 or 4 on my list.
I would recommend trying it though, if you get a chance...it is a good paddle, and a fairly quiet one as well.
Don't forget...if you need a 4th...I'm your Huckleberry!
