About This Item
Product Description
Power and Control. The Amped series was engineered to amplify both aspects without compromising! It is the ultimate combination of power and control. The Amped series is pioneering an entirely new technology in the Pickleball industry with its FiberFlex Fiberglass face and patent pending thicker X5 polypropylene core. The revolutionary thicker paddle core provides an unparalleled degree of power and control along with many other performance benefits!
Product Features
Technology: X5 Polypropylene Polymer Core: a revolutionary thicker polypropylene polymer core that amplifies both the power and control of a paddle
FiberFlex Unidirectional Fiberglass Face: Redesigned face engineered to amplify performance
Unibody Design: unibody design melds the X5 Core and Fiberflex face together for optimum performance and increased durability.
Larger Sweet Spot: The combination of the X5 core and FiberFlex face creates the largest sweet spot of any of our paddles.
Vibration Dampening: A very noticeable attribute of the Amped paddle is its vibration dampening. In addition to giving the paddle a very solid feel, vibration dampening may help some players with their tennis elbow.
Torque Suppression: When a ball hits off center, it tends to cause the paddle to torque or twist, which reduces accuracy. The X5 core reduces this giving the paddle additional control, a more solid feel, and increased ability to block hard drives. These same principles also make the AMPED paddle the ideal choice for playing in the wind.
Quiet: The X5 Core and FiberFlex face are significantly quieter than our previous technologies.
Face Cushioning: The X5 Core and FiberFlex face combine to create a unique improved ability for Amped paddles to cushion the ball to stay on the face longer. This allows the player to manipulate the ball more effectively.
Impart More Spin: Because of the AMPED’s ability to cushion the ball, players can generate an unmatched amount of spin. This allows us to create the face that is not so rough you cannot diffuse an opponent’s spin.
Well Balanced: The Amped Paddle carries on Selkirk’s signature “it feels lighter than it is” reputation, by utilizing our unique weight distribution EdgeSentry edgeguard technology.
Epic: Keeping with the traditional paddle shape, the Epic combines a long handle with a large surface area. Epic
Not to bad. Not very forgiving. Plenty of pop. Grip is very nice. Would probably buy again for the price range.

Good All Around Paddle
For me the paddle seems to have a very good balance on control and power. Compared to my other paddles, the ball seems to stay on the paddle longer for better control of your shots. Paddle also seems to generate enough power for my serves and quick drives. I had added some lead tape around the four/five and seven/eight positions and added another wrap around the handle to increase the circumference. Paddle feels and plays great!

Mid Level Player
I really like this paddle. I consider myself an advanced beginner as I have been playing for just over a year. I feel that I get more shots in now and can get more spin on the ball. The reason for 4 stars is I hardly ever give anything 5 stars.

Still Works For Me
This was my third or fourth Amped. I play regularly with 3.5 -4 players and hold my own. I’ve tried other paddles but always come back to the Amped. I hit a lot of spin and I find it very predictable. Haven’t had any other paddle feel this comfortable.

Love The Feel Of The Paddle.
I’m fairly new to pickleball (appx. 8 months). I love the control and power of the paddle. I can see a difference in my game.

Perfect Fit
I don't have a lot of experience playing yet but have used five different paddles before the Selkirk. This feels the most comfortable to use and seems to offer the most control and power when I want it. I thought the price point was perfect for its quality. Recommend.

A Bit More Spin, The Same Power And Control.
The surface texture is a little more gritty, so additional top spin on my serve is possible. It has always been a great paddle for control and power, so the addition of spin makes it my go to paddle.

Great Paddle!
I used a demo Selkirk Epic at an open play a few months ago after purchasing another expensive paddle. I couldn’t stop thinking about the Epic and much it helped my game. I’m so glad I finally decided to pull the trigger and add this paddle to my bag. I absolutely love it!

Not Crazy In Love With It. Yet.
At least my wrist doesn’t hurt because this is a lighter paddle but something about the grip doesn’t feel quite right. I’ll keep playing with it and get back to you.

Ready To Up Your Game!
Really enjoy this paddle. A step up from previous paddle, especially in control shots and drop shots. For me this mid-weight paddle feels comfortable, and I feel confident in the soft, short game. But it provides plenty of power for driving the ball. Selkirk is definitely the brand that I feel is at the top of the game!
