Selkirk EVO CONTROL 2.0 Pickleball Paddle

As the name suggests, this paddle is designed primarily for control. The 16mm core and carbon fiber face create a softer, more responsive feel that excels at dinking and touch shots, though it still offers enough pop for put-aways when you need it.

The XL shape, which measures 16.4 inches in length, provides extra reach on the court. This is particularly helpful for tracking down wide balls or extending your reach at the kitchen line, though it may feel slightly different if you are used to a more traditional, wider paddle shape.

Yes, the SpinFlex textured surface is engineered to grip the ball more effectively upon contact. While it won't replace proper technique, it provides the necessary friction to help you add more consistent spin to your serves and drives.

Absolutely. It is specifically engineered to bridge the gap between beginner accessibility and advanced performance. It offers a forgiving, soft feel that makes it easier to learn control, while still providing the high-quality materials that will serve you well as you improve.

Weighing between 7.6 and 8.1 ounces, this paddle falls into the mid-weight category. This is generally considered the 'sweet spot' for most players, offering a stable balance between maneuverability at the net and enough mass to drive the ball through the court.

The 16mm core is thicker than standard paddles, which is the primary reason for this paddle's soft, dampened feel. This thickness helps absorb vibration on impact, making it more comfortable for your arm and giving you better feedback on touch shots.
