Summary

The Selkirk Amped S2 is a standard-shaped pickleball paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The fiberglass face is often associated with a blend of power and forgiveness. Weighing 8.1 oz with a low swing weight of 101, the paddle should be maneuverable. The 4.5-inch grip may be suitable for most players, but those preferring a two-handed backhand might find it short. The 16mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented gameplay. This paddle may be suitable for beginner to intermediate players looking for a balance between power and control. The combination of core and face materials could offer a good blend of power and touch. The relatively light weight and low swing weight may enhance maneuverability, while the higher twist weight (6.69) and corresponding twist weight rating (6.0 out of 10) and percentile (74th percentile) suggest good stability on off-center hits. However, the lower spin rating (3.0 out of 10) and percentile (11th percentile) suggests it may generate less spin compared to other paddles. Drive and volley speed data were not available for this analysis.
