The SLK Valkyrie Widebody 16mm by the numbers
Each bar places this paddle between the lowest and highest figure among the 41 paddle models on our wall. The dot is this paddle, the tick is the average. These are the makers' published specs, not lab measurements.
Buy it if
- You want a thicker core. At 16 mm it sits at the thick end, which usually means a softer feel and more control.
- You hit a two-handed backhand. The 5.6-inch handle leaves room for both hands.
- You want a wide face. At 8 inches across it is one of the widest paddles we stock, and a wider face is more forgiving off-centre.
Skip it if
- You want the quicker pop of a thinner 13 or 14 mm core.
- Reach is your priority. It is 15.95 inches long, and elongated paddles run longer.
What players say about Pickleland
4.9 on Google from 918 reviews of the club.
I had a blast the first day at Pickleland! Met some new friends, played some competitive games, and toured the awesome new facility in Pflugerville! Looking forward to getting to know the community. Staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
Courts: sturdy with spacious divisions, high ceilings, and good lighting (you won't be blinded if the ball goes high). You can tell the builders did research on quality pickleball courts and executed it very well. Vibes: really friendly and accommodating staff! Competition for open play is one of the best in Austin, so if you want some fun and good games, this is your place!
The indoor pickleball courts here are fantastic! The lighting is excellent. The open play system is very organized, allowing you to easily find games and partners to play with. Overall, this is an outstanding indoor pickleball facility.
