Selkirk Amped Control (Invikta) Midweight

The Selkirk Amped Control Invikta Midweight is a control-focused pickleball paddle engineered for players seeking precision, spin and consistency without sacrificing baseline power. It pairs a 16 mm X5 polypropylene honeycomb core — tuned for vibration absorption and a generous sweet spot — with an advanced Fibreglass FiberFlex+ face and Ultra Durable Coating for enhanced ball bite and spin generation. The elongated Invikta shape extends reach and leverage, making this paddle well-suited for strategic play and precise placement across all levels, from beginner to pro.

Staff pro review:

The Amped Control Invikta Midweight stands out as a versatile control paddle that still delivers enough heft for effective drives. The thick X5 core yields a plush, forgiving feel, while the upgraded face coating noticeably improves spin and shot placement. Its extended sweet spot and elongated profile help with reach and consistency, though manoeuvrability may feel slightly less agile than standard shapes for rapid net play. Ideal for players prioritising control and spin over pure power.
