Explore the SLK Era Power Widebody 16mm – Performance, Features, and Specs

$200
(5 stars)

The SLK ERA Power is Selkirk’s latest power-focused frame, backed by tighter quality control and a one-year warranty. It’s built for aggressive players who want pop, spin, and a consistent feel. A Dynamic Fusion Core—polypropylene with EVA foam edging—adds stability and durability. The 3-layer face brings stiffness for power and just enough flex for control. It’s a firm, punchy paddle designed to keep up when the pace picks up.
