Selkirk Sport Pickleball Paddle | Graphite Face with Polymer Core | Lightweight | Orange

I haven’t used the paddle yet, but it appears to be a well constructed. The paddle grip is very comfortable. I believe it is a very good paddle for both beginner and experienced pickleball players. I also liked knowing that I was buying a 2024 model, as listed in the description. I love supporting Canadian companies, so I was very happy to place my order with them. They delivered the paddle on schedule and it was packed very well. In summary, a good value. It was precisely as described and I love the graphics. I will place future paddle/racquet/athletic footwear orders with Tenniszon.

I've been playing for a couple years now and while not an advanced player I'm not still a rank beginner either. I started with a set of no name paddles and wanted something "better" eventually. I got the Selkirk SLK Latitude 2.0 and could immediately feel the difference. Like most players I thought, well if this paddle was such a big improvement then surely a more expensive paddle will be an even bigger improvement. That couldn't be further from the truth. I have another considerably more expensive Selkirk paddle (Vanguard Control S2) that feels dead compared to the Latitude. I also have another very popular paddle, an Onix Z5 Mod, that seems overly hard, with lots of "pop' for lack of a better word, and is difficult to place softer shots with and is less forgiving on off center hits. I've also played with a Six Zero Infinity Black Diamond that had a very small sweet spot for a top of the line paddle. I also played with a Six Zero Double Black Diamond Control which felt better than the Infinity but still didn't feel as good to me as the SLK Latitude. I know that the Latitude 2.0 is considered a lower end beginner's paddle but for me it is not too lively, not too mushy, but is the Goldilocks of paddles...just right, and the price is right too! I should probably buy a few of them before they quit making them.

I’m an intermediate to advanced player, but did not want to spend a ton of money on my next paddle. Selkirk is one of the best brands so I thought I’d try this inexpensive paddle and just keep it for my family members to use whenever they play with me if I didn’t like it, but have been very impressed by its performance. It’s the perfect weight for me, the perfect sized grip, and of course I love the color! It has improved my game and hits accurately every time. Highly recommend!

February 2025: Very good choice for my first paddle, I will need to upgrade to a better (read more expensive) paddle before long, but got now it does the job admirably. January 2026: as predicted, I upgraded to a much better paddle in the Black Friday sales, however this paddle I gave away and that person loves it and had bought 3 more for her friend's as it is even better value at £34... £20 less than I paid originally... A bargain by any measure.

Good value for a player starting out. Decent feel and the included balls were a bonus.
