Selkirk Amped Control Invikta Midweight Pickleball Paddle
Selkirk Amped Control Invikta Midweight Pickleball Paddle is a premium pickleball paddle designed for players who prioritise precision, touch and controlled shot placement. Built in Selkirk's elongated Invikta shape, it offers added reach and increased paddle whip, making it especially effective for spin-heavy drives, counters and two-handed backhands. The midweight specification delivers a stable feel through contact while maintaining enough manoeuvrability for quick hand battles at the net.
Selkirk's X5 polypropylene honeycomb core provides exceptional vibration dampening and a softer response, helping players execute resets, drops and dinks with greater consistency. The fibreglass face adds controlled pop without feeling overly lively, creating an ideal balance of forgiveness, control and all-court versatility.
Staff Pro Review
The Amped Control Invikta is an excellent option for players who prefer a softer, more controlled paddle with extra reach. It feels very forgiving across the face and shines in the transition zone where touch and placement matter most. Players coming from tennis will appreciate the elongated shape and easy access to spin on full swings.
