I've also found that the X5 core provides a great deal of speed, which has been particularly useful when trying to put my opponents on the defensive.I've also noticed some drawbacks to playing aggressively with the Selkirk Amped Epic.

‍

Firstly, the paddle lacks some of the durability I'd like to have when playing hard-hitting rallies.
