The Selkirk Amped Control S2 Midweight is positioned as a variant geared towards extended tactical control and increased forgiveness. Its S2 shape is characterized by a larger striking surface than a traditional paddle, obtained by a proportional reduction of the handle area in favor of the racket head.

With a length of approximately 16.5 in (≈41.9 cm) and a weight varying from 7.9 to 8.4 oz (≈224–238 g), it offers an excellent sweet spot, ideal for players who want to minimize placement errors without losing the ability to express power when necessary.

The core uses an X5 Polymer Honeycomb Core of 16 mm, carefully calibrated to provide effective vibration absorption and regular energy return. This internal construction allows for a consistent hitting sensation across the entire surface, making it easier to control trajectories and repeat shots with increased precision. This type of core is appreciated for its comfort and its ability to reduce fatigue during long gaming sessions.

The FiberFlex+ Fiberglass surface is designed to prioritize control and tactile sensitivity. Compared to stiffer carbon surfaces, this material provides a smoother response and better management of tactical placements. The optimized texture also increases grip on the ball, making it easier to generate controlled spin and execute subtle trajectory variations.

Ergonomics are improved by an OctoComfort grip which stabilizes the racket grip and helps maintain shot precision, particularly during rapid changes of direction or position adjustments. The integrated edge guard protects against side impacts without disturbing the general balance.

The Amped Control S2 Midweight is ideal for players who want a paddle focused on trajectory consistency, a generous sweet spot and excellent tactile feel, capable of supporting varied tactical plays, from precise dinking to controlled blocks and deep placements.
