Selkirk Review

The Selkirk Invikta Pickleball Paddle, a collaboration with pro Tyson McGuffin, includes models like Project 002, later upgraded to the Power Air. With a dynamic throat design for airflow, the Vanguard Power Air Invikta boasts a QuadFlex 4 Layer Hybrid Face for enhanced power and dwell time. The medium grip size offers a comfortable yet secure feel. There are 3 options to customize the grip:

1. The Selkirk paddle boasts Power Air tech for enhanced speed and spin.
2. Its FlexFoam Perimeter injects foam for durability, added weight, a larger sweet spot, and vibration absorption.
3. ProSpin+ NextGen Micro Texture ensures a longer-lasting spin surface, allowing players to dominate with an elongated shape, large sweet spot, and long handle.

The VANGUARD Power Air introduces new technologies like 360° Proto Molding, Aero-DuraEdge Edgeless, and SuperCore. It maintains spin and power like the 002 but enhances control. If you found the 002 powerful but challenging, the Power Air offers improved control. It has a unique design, requiring a learning curve, and might be a bit strong for some players, especially in required green zones.

With its broad face and short grip, the Selkirk Amped S2 paddle is perfect for beginning to intermediate players. The paddle comes with a choice of grips and weights. Among the Amped portfolio, the S2 boasts the largest face. Fiberflex technology and a thicker core work together to reduce vibration. The well-balanced Amped S2 paddle provides good control and a large sweet spot. It does have medium power and considerable top spin. But, until you have learned control, you should avoid playing with a lot of strength.

The Selkirk Halo line offer three paddles (power, control and signature) in 2 shapes (Max, XL (elongated)). For the price point it is a decent paddle. The handle is well constructed with covered polymer. You will find the spin to be adequate, around 1425-1450 Rpms. While not stellar, it is decent for comparable paddles within the same price point. Control felt natural and performed well while playing a soft game. This paddle will not provide the power you may desire in a battle round. Adding lead tape will increase the sweet spot, if hitting off center. This is a decent paddle for a beginner-intermediate player who enjoys playing a controlled game and for those who prefer a more modest price point.

Designed to deliver both power and control on the court, the SLK Evo Hybrid is a popular paddle choice for beginner and advanced Pickleball players. With its large sweet spot, ultra-comfortable grip, and irresistible price point, the Evo Hybrid offers unmatched performance value.

A high-quality paddle at an affordable price is the Selkirk Latitude Pickleball Paddle. Simply put, Selkirk is recognized for producing excellent paddles, and this one is no exception. It is a great option for a variety of players due to its harmony of force and control. Overall, it feels quite robust but light. An excellent, reasonably priced paddle overall.
