"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."
