Meta description: Selkirk AMPED Pro Air paddle with FiberFlex+ face, X5+ honeycomb core, and open throat design. Built for competitive all-court play.
Overview
The Selkirk AMPED Pro Air is built for players who want power and control in the same paddle, without trading one off for the other. It carries the balanced, familiar feel of an all-court paddle while packing in Selkirk's latest performance technology — making it a strong fit for competitive players who move between aggressive drives and soft resets in the same rally.
Who it's for
Players who cover the full court and need one paddle that handles both ends of the game: solid drive power from the baseline, manageable weight and manoeuvrability in the transition zone, and enough touch and control to execute clean resets at the kitchen line.
Key Technology
- FiberFlex+ fibreglass face — designed for a strong balance of power output and shot-to-shot consistency
- X5+ honeycomb core (16mm) — a thicker polypropylene core built for a large, consistent sweet spot alongside solid power
- Open throat design — a wider throat section near the handle improves airflow through the swing and adds paddle flex, supporting faster swing speeds
- Extended dwell time throat flex — the open-throat construction increases contact time with the ball on impact, adding power without sacrificing feel
- ProSpin+ micro-textured surface — a durable textured face designed for consistent spin generation over the life of the paddle
- Octagonal grip shape — designed to improve control and shot accuracy through a more stable hand position
- 360° molded construction — full composite coverage manufactured under high pressure for a consistent, reliable response across the face
- Foam-injected perimeter — foam runs through the full edge perimeter to boost durability, expand the sweet spot, and dampen vibration for a stable feel
