Crafted to deliver control and spin in one uncompromising paddle, the Selkirk AMPED Control pickleball paddle offers a familiar and consistent feel of a control paddle, alongside long lasting spin and next level technology to skillfully win points.

Favored for its increased sweet spot size when compared to other elongated pickleball paddle shapes, the Selkirk Invikta paddle shape is popular with intermediate to pro players. With Invikta, you get the elongated shape, a large sweet spot, and a long handle that provides power, reach, and spin. USAPA-approved.

In 2017, Selkirk introduced the first pickleball paddle to enable both power and control. This hybrid innovation, known as AMPED, quickly became a favorite among pickleball players who previously had to choose between either  power or control.

AMPED was the industry's first thick core innovation, coming in at 5/8” when all other paddles were 1/2” or less. It was the first paddle to offer both power and control in one, allowing players to put away shots with the necessary power while dominating at the net with precision. In doing so, it forever changed the landscape of the sport.

Now, Selkirk is excited to introduce the AMPED Control, a paddle designed to evolve your game. This new iteration features a next-generation Ultra Durable surface coating, that provides long lasting spin, while maintaining the classic AMPED feel that players know and love. The new Ultra Durable coating is the result of hundreds of evolutions and iterations in our R&D process creating a paddle that now delivers longer lasting spin.

Built to amplify spin and outlast the competition, the AMPED Control is for players who crave Control + Lasting Spin in one uncompromising paddle. Experience how the evolved coating can elevate your game, helping you outperform your competition on the court.

Crafted to deliver control and spin in one uncompromising paddle, the AMPED Control offers a familiar and consistent feel of a control paddle, alongside long lasting spin and next level technology to skillfully win points.

With the power needed to get from the baseline to the kitchen, the AMPED Control provides the soft touch and incredible spin you’re looking for to keep the ball in play. The focus on control makes it an ideal choice for players who are looking for a more thoughtful approach to constructing points.

Available in three paddle shapes.

Amped!

Love my new S2 Amped control … it boasts control, spin and some pop when needed. My first Selkirk paddle is a winner. I switched from Joola Hyperion!

Same quality with better conteil

I bought this paddle to replace the same boat be I’ve had for three years. It is made with improved control. Tried four other paddles before deciding to stay with the Amped. Love it!

Pickleball Paddle Shape Guide

S2

Epic

Invikta

S2

The most control and precision

Ideal for pickleball players who want the most control potential. This shape is also great for players coming over from a table tennis background because it most closely resembles a ping pong paddle.

Epic

Versatile and balanced

Ideal for beginners to seasoned pros, and tennis players transitioning to pickleball. Some players prefer this shape, while others who don’t have a preference opt for it as a way to continue learning their preferences.

Invikta

Extend your reach and create more power

Ideal for intermediate to pro players who have an aggressive play style, like more room for a two-handed grip, and want more reach.
