Two standard paddles, side by side. Specs are the published figures; prices are what US stores charged at our latest check, shipping included.
What actually separates them
- Selkirk SLK Geo Widebody is the heavier of the two, by about 0.3 oz. Heavier paddles hit harder and feel more stable; lighter ones are quicker in hand battles.
- The cores are built differently: JOOLA Scorpeus Pro IV 14mm is honeycomb with foam edge, Selkirk SLK Geo Widebody is honeycomb. That is usually the difference you feel first on contact.
- Selkirk SLK Geo Widebody has the longer handle (5.6 in against 5.25 in), which matters if you hit two-handed backhands.
- Grip sizes differ: JOOLA Scorpeus Pro IV 14mm is 4.125 in around, Selkirk SLK Geo Widebody 4.25 in. An overgrip adds size; nothing takes it away.
