FAQ'S

Q: What's the difference between the Epic and other Vanguard Control shapes?

A: The Epic features a longer handle and a traditional paddle face, offering a great balance between control and reach. It's ideal for players who use a two-handed backhand or want additional reach without moving to an elongated paddle.

Q: Is the Vanguard Control Epic suitable for beginners?

A: Yes, its forgiving core and stable feel make it an excellent choice for beginners who want to develop control and consistency. It also suits intermediate and advanced players focused on tactical play.

Q: How does the 16mm core affect performance?

A: The thicker 16mm X5+ Honeycomb Core increases stability and softens impact, giving you better touch and reduced vibration for more precise shot placement.

Elongated Shape - Power Focus

Elongated-shaped pickleball paddles are generally power-focused. These are designed for aggressive players who put more force behind attacking shots and react quickly during fast volleys. The elongated shape provides additional reach and leverage to help generate greater power.

Standard & Hybrid Shape - All Round

Standard and Hybrid shape pickleball paddles are usually all-round focused. These are designed for players seeking a versatile balance between power and control, making them suitable for a wide range of playing styles and providing a balanced combination of reach, manoeuvrability, touch and attacking potential.

Widebody Shape - Control Focus

Widebody-shaped pickleball paddles are control-focused. These are designed for players who prioritise precision, placement and touch. They are generally widebody-shaped, providing a larger and more forgiving hitting area for players who rely on accurate shot-making, resets and strategic play while still being able to generate power when required.

*** Demo Charge for a taped up new Tennis, Padel rackets, and Pickleball paddles (try to buy) ***

If you choose the demo option on a "frame only" racket, you must pick a string upgrade option in order to try the racket.

We then advise that you have a very light 10 minute play with the racket to see if you like it.

If you keep the racket, the demo charge (£20 per racket) will be refunded.

(email [email protected] to request refund stating your name and order reference)

If you return the racket (within 14 days), the cost of the racket will be refunded LESS:

  • The demo charge (£20 per racket)
  • The cost of the string upgrade(s)
  • Charge for any sign of damage to racket.

Check our terms and conditions for a full explanation of the demo procedure.
