The SLK Geo – Elongated is a pickleball paddle designed for intermediate players seeking added reach, spin and controlled power. Manufactured by Selkirk Sport, this elongated paddle features a longer 16.5” profile and extended handle to support two-handed backhands and increased court coverage. An inertia-tuned swing weight and MOI-focused construction promote stability through contact without sacrificing hand speed at the net.
Staff pro review:
The elongated shape immediately gives you extra reach on volleys and passing shots. At 14mm thick, it feels lively and quick through the air, making it ideal for players who like to accelerate through the ball. The carbon fibre face grips the ball well for topspin and controlled drives. Best suited to progressing intermediates who want a blend of spin and manageable power.

FAQs:
1. How does the elongated shape change performance?
The longer profile increases reach and leverage, which helps on serves, overheads and defensive stretch shots, while slightly raising swing weight for added power.
2. What is the MOI Tuning system and how does it help?
The MOI (Moment of Inertia) Tuning system redistributes weight within the frame to increase twist resistance. This improves stability on off-centre contact and helps maintain directional control during fast exchanges.
3. What does an inertia-tuned swing weight mean in play?
An inertia-tuned swing weight balances manoeuvrability with plough-through. It keeps the paddle quick in hand while providing enough mass through contact to deliver controlled power and a solid feel.
