Designed to deliver control and spin in one racket without compromise, the Selkirk AMPED Control Pickleball Paddle delivers the familiar, consistent feel of a control racket, along with durable spin and next-level pickleball technology.

In 2017, Selkirk introduced the first pickleball racket offering both power and control. This hybrid innovation, known as AMPED, has quickly become a favorite among pickleball players who previously had to choose between power and control. 

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

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

Designed to amplify spin and outlast the competition, the AMPED Control is for players looking for Control + Long-lasting Spin in a no-compromise racquet. Discover how the advanced rubber can improve your game, helping you outperform your competition on the field.

Welcome to the next era of AMPED.
