What's actually different
Generated from the brands' published specs. Nothing here comes from lab testing; see how we read specs.
Shape
Both are elongated shapes, at 16.5" × 7.45" for the Selkirk SLK Dauntless Elongated 16mm and 16.5" × 7.5" for the Holbrook Zone Power 16mm.
Twistweight
The Selkirk SLK Dauntless Elongated 16mm has the higher twistweight: 6.9 against 6.3. Higher twistweight resists twisting on off-center hits, so the Selkirk SLK Dauntless Elongated 16mm should be the more forgiving of the two when you miss the middle.
Handle
The Selkirk SLK Dauntless Elongated 16mm has the longer handle: 5.8" against 5.5", which leaves more room for a two-handed backhand.

Face: T700 raw carbon fiber, Raw Spin Technology texture (raw carbon) on the Selkirk SLK Dauntless Elongated 16mm, Layered carbon-fiberglass-carbon (CFC) face sheets with textured peel ply surface (composite) on the Holbrook Zone Power 16mm. Core: SoloCore PureFoam with IsoFlex cutout against Low-density large-cell core with EVA foam perimeter.
