Crafted to deliver control and spin in one uncompromising paddle, the Selkirk AMPED Control pickleball paddle offers a familiar and consistent feel of a control paddle, alongside long lasting spin and next level technology to skillfully win points.

Pairing a traditional pickleball paddle shape with a large surface area and a long handle, the Selkirk Epic pickleball paddle shape delivers the perfect blend of power and control. Versatile and well-rounded, the Epic paddle shape is ideal for the beginner and the seasoned pro. USAPA-approved.

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.

Crafted to deliver control and spin in one uncompromising paddle, the AMPED Control offers a familiar and consistent feel of a control paddle, alongside long lasting spin and next level technology to skillfully win points.

With the power needed to get from the baseline to the kitchen, the AMPED Control provides the soft touch and incredible spin you’re looking for to keep the ball in play. The focus on control makes it an ideal choice for players who are looking for a more thoughtful approach to constructing points.

Available in three paddle shapes.

NEW Fiberglass FiberFlex+ Face for Control

The new Fiberglass FiberFlex+ Face creates an upgraded experience, enhancing control for greater feel and responsiveness. This face improves control on both center-face strikes and off-center hits.

NEW Ultra Durable Coating for Lasting Spin

The new Ultra Durable Coating is a durable coating, designed to be long lasting and deliver a higher spin rate. Tiny grooves on the face grip the ball at impact, generating more spin for increased control and more bite.

16mm X5 Core for Consistent Sweet Spot

The 16mm X5 polypropylene honeycomb core has incredible consistency and ball control by effectively absorbing vibrations, while providing a large sweet pot and soft overall feel.

EdgeSentry™ Edgeguard

Low-profile, lightweight, and durable, our edge guard technology achieves a well-balanced, solid paddle.

Octagonal GripDesigned to enhance control, the upgraded Octagonal Grip offers you greater maneuverability and shot accuracy on the court.

Amped Control paddle in Epic

Selkirk always delivers the best products! IMO, this is the only brand for me! The quality is superb, and they have a paddle for everyone. I had shoulder surgery and this is the only brand that offers a lightweight paddle that works for me! It allows me to swing faster without weighing me down And my arm is not sore after playing! Thank you Selkirk!!

Just Right!

I'm an advanced intermediate pickleball player. I'm working hard to improve my game. I've played with several different paddles the lady 3 years but settled on the Selkirk Amped Epic for the last year and a half. I love it. When it was time to get a new one I tried the Selkirk Amped Control Epic. Love it too. It's lightweight, but not too light. Perfect grip size and handle length. Selkirk is my paddle.

AMPED Control is solid

I really like this paddle for the spin it generates, especially at first few uses, and the control factor. I switched from a Power Air, and it took me several weeks to adjust to the differences. But now that I have, I will likely stick with this one and perhaps order another.
