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.

Featuring the largest sweet spot of all Selkirk pickleball paddle shapes, the S2 paddle shape provides amplified power and reliable consistency. Its traditional shape and extra large surface area pairs with a shorter handle to offer players ultimate control on the court. USA Pickleball-approved.

Back 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.

Welcome to the next era of AMPED.

Upgrade!!!!

Been playing with Selkirk Halo Control and loved it. I thought I would try an upgraded Selkirk. Read many reviews on all the paddles. It seemed that the Amped Invicta got some nice feedback. Purchased the grey model and used for the first time today. Great control and spin. Dinking game much improved. Great purchase. As of now, I enjoyed the elevation of game.

Paddle is better than me!

I have only used it 2 different times but I am pleased. First off, being Made in the USA means a lot to me, so I am proud of that. I am a very new player, so I can’t be too technical but I do love the feel of it, it seems very stable and the extra thickness over my previous paddle really seems to help. The control during dinks seems great, and the sweet spot seems larger than my old one. Anyway, I am very happy and hope to get better to use more of the paddle’s capabilities.

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.
