Selkirk Amped S2 Midweight Pickleball Paddle Review

General Thoughts

The Selkirk Amped S2 Midweight Pickleball Paddle is a high-quality paddle that offers a great balance of power and control. The increased surface area of the paddle provides a larger sweet spot, making it easier to hit accurate shots. The weight of the paddle is also well-balanced and comfortable to hold, making it easy to maneuver during play.

Paddle Design

The design of the Selkirk Amped S2 is standard in its shape, which is a wide body. This means there is no elongation or awkward length between the handle and head. Though a standard shape, the Amped S2 has a larger surface area (about 15.75 by 8 inches per retailer listings) than the other Amped shapes. This larger surface area means the paddle's sweet spot is also increased.

Attacking

When attacking, I found that the Selkirk Amped S2 provided a great deal of power. The larger sweet spot allowed me to hit more accurate shots and the weight of the paddle made it easy to generate power. I also found that the paddle provided good control when hitting volleys.

Control Play

The Selkirk Amped S2 also provided great control during control play. The weight of the paddle made it easy to maneuver and the larger sweet spot allowed me to hit accurate shots. I also found that the paddle provided good control when hitting volleys, which allowed me to place the ball in specific areas of the court.

Conclusion

Overall, I was very impressed with the Selkirk Amped S2 Midweight Pickleball Paddle. It provides a good combination of power and control. Its wide body and large sweet spot makes it easy to play with while not being too unwieldy. This is a good paddle for a wide range of players.
