    I’ve been testing the Vanguard S2 2.0 for a few weeks now, and here’s the honest scoop: this paddle’s got one of the largest sweet spots I’ve ever played with. It’s like Selkirk figured out where I usually mishit and just said, “We got you, buddy.”

    The shorter handle took a sec to get used to (especially coming from tennis), but it’s perfect for a finger-up grip and quick resets in the kitchen. Control is where this paddle really shines—dinks, drops, blocks—it’s like it reads your mind. Power? Not its main gig, but there’s just enough juice to finish a point when you time it right.

    If you’re a doubles player who values touch and forgiveness more than bangers and baseline bombs, the S2 2.0 might be your new best friend.
