COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho — Oct. 20, 2026 — Selkirk Sport today released the S2 Pro, a pickleball built for competitive practice and tournament play.
Cracked and out-of-round balls are among the most common complaints in pickleball. Once a ball cracks or warps, its bounce and flight change, causing players to replace balls after a few sessions. Selkirk designed the S2 Pro to address both problems.
“Players spend a lot of time choosing the right paddle, then play with a ball that may not last the week,” said Rob Barnes, co-founder and co-CEO of Selkirk Sport. “We wanted a ball that holds up as long as the rest of a player’s gear.”
The S2 Pro comes with an industry-first one-year no-crack and no out-of-round warranty.
The S2 Pro uses a patented 38-hole geodesic design with three hole sizes — 7.5 mm, 6.5 mm and 4 mm. The holes are spaced for uniform mass distribution and wind resistance, which keeps the ball from wobbling in flight.
The ball is made with true-round injection molding, which helps it keep its shape and resist cracking around the holes under high impact. A textured surface adds spin.
The launch follows the August release of the Q1 Quiet ball, which plays 34 percent quieter than a standard pickleball. The Q1 Quiet is the only ball that is dual-certified by USA Pickleball-sanctioned play and as a quiet ball.
The S2 Pro is available now in three-packs for $15 and 12-packs for $40.
