I love “equipment” and have purchased more than my share of paddles. One more expensive than this, and several, slightly lower priced.
I can honestly say, this is my favorite paddle.
I don’t work for Selkirk, don’t know anyone at Selkirk, haven’t rec’d anything for this review…heck, I even returned two other Selkirk paddles of equal value (different models).
This is the BOMB!
Control, power, feel, it’s light, and on the thicker side, and handle is shorter, which I prefer.
FAVORITE!!!
======
A good beginner to intermediate paddle for the money. I just wish they had sent me the cover they were promoting as free with the purchase of this paddle back when I bought it. I messaged Selkirk about this shortly after my purchase but never heard back. Strange based on all of the good things I've heard about Selkirk customer service. Oh, well.
I have the little longer version one and the lightweight one. Had it over a year now and recently had a 'too hard' of a "good shot" tap by a friend and dinged it pretty bad. So with that and all the play with it, it's pretty banged up after a year of hard play. I play almost everyday.
So I just received my second one today, brand new, just out of the box, and it feels the same as my first one. Happy about that and ready to go whack some balls and see how it behaves. Feels like it will be exactly the same as the older one. I'll revise this if it is other than that, but it feels like a duplicate to my other, except it has no white mixed in with the blue color that I got both times now, which it even better as it should show less wear being all blue, probably. It's a five star paddle IMO. Each to their own though.
It's the only paddle that I have bought two of back-to-back and it's slowed my embarrassing purchases of paddles too. Why break from a great love affair? No regrets! Zero - none - nada.
Note update: This new paddle is just better than my old one of the same. I think my old one got a bit softer with all the play I do and the 'good play slaps' with partners paddles. I am going to try and not do hard paddle slaps with my partners so much anymore. Still, I see myself probably getting a new one after about 9 months just to be sure I have a proper paddle.
Great control!
