In November 2022, SLK introduced the HALO series of pickleball paddles, revolutionizing the lineup with innovative raw carbon fiber technology; now, building on the success of the HALO, SLK presents the HALO Pro: the new Carbon + Kevlar, hybrid paddle of choice for intermediate to advanced players seeking an all-court pickleball paddle with superior spin, solidifying the SLK HALO Pro as the pinnacle of craftsmanship and performance within the HALO series.
The HALO Pro introduces SLK’s Patent-Pending Carbon Fiber Kevlar LinkWeave, paired with a premium paddle design and elevated functionality, to offer pickleball players a balance of incredible power and reliable control.
What’s New?
The Selkirk HALO Pro introduces several technological enhancements when compared to the SLK HALO paddle, including:
- Patent-Pending Face: Featuring the Patent-Pending Carbon Fiber Kevlar LinkWeave, the HALO Pro’s face offers balanced strength and is impact resistant.
- Thermoformed Unibody Design: An advanced molding process that creates a unibody design, increasing the consistency and expanding the sweet spot of the paddle while adding more power.
- FlexFoam Perimeter: The HALO Pro is the first raw surface paddle in our SLK lineup to incorporate the FlexFoam Perimeter. This innovative technology, achieved by injecting specially formulated foam into the entire perimeter of the paddle, serves to enlarge the sweet spot and absorbs the vibrations from every hit.
A first for the SLK HALO series, this Carbon + Kevlar all-court pickleball paddle combines the added force of a power paddle with the reliable feel of a control paddle, making it an ideal choice for intermediate to advanced players who seek an optimal strength-to-weight ratio for durability without sacrificing maneuverability for rapid swings and precise shots.
The cutting-edge construction introduces Patent-Pending Carbon Fiber Kevlar LinkWeave technology, alongside an advanced thermoformed molding and a FlexFoam injected perimeter to the HALO series, enhancing player performance and paddle durability for serious players.
The SLK HALO Pro’s resilient raw carbon kevlar surface improves spin, and its large sweet spot and lighter weight enhance maneuverability, allowing for powerful drives, speed ups, and put-aways with control at the net, solidifying it as the pinnacle of craftsmanship and performance within the HALO series of paddles.
