Selkirk Sport AMPED Control

This paddle uses a 16mm polypropylene raw honeycomb core behind a Fiberglass FiberFlex+ face. That thick core and fiberglass surface point toward a steadier, softer response than a thin, power-first setup. The listed weight is 9.88 ounces, so expect a substantial feel rather than a quick, ultralight swing.

Its 15.75-by-8-inch shape gives you a broad hitting area without an elongated profile. The octagonal grip adds a defined handle shape for consistent hand placement. Selkirk describes the AMPED Control as combining control with lasting spin, while retailer descriptions emphasize soft touch and enough power to move from the baseline toward the kitchen.

This paddle fits a placement-first game. The 16mm core and control-focused design should help when you slow the ball down, reset at the kitchen, and work through soft hands exchanges. The fiberglass face is also suited to players who want accessible spin rather than a purely flat response.

The listed 9.88-ounce weight can support solid drives and stable contact from the baseline, but it may feel slower during quick hand battles. Choose it if you value a substantial swing and controlled point construction. Look elsewhere if fast reactions and effortless maneuverability matter more than stability.
