Selkirk Sport 2024 SLK Latitude 2.0 Pickleball Paddle | G4 Graphite Pickleball Paddle Face | Rev-Core+ Technology with SpinFlex Surface | Redesigned for Performance and Control

I've been playing for a couple years now and while not an advanced player I'm not still a rank beginner either. I started with a set of no name paddles and wanted something "better" eventually. I got the Selkirk SLK Latitude 2.0 and could immediately feel the difference. Like most players I thought, well if this paddle was such a big improvement then surely a more expensive paddle will be an even bigger improvement. That couldn't be further from the truth. I have another considerably more expensive Selkirk paddle (Vanguard Control S2) that feels dead compared to the Latitude. I also have another very popular paddle, an Onix Z5 Mod, that seems overly hard, with lots of "pop' for lack of a better word, and is difficult to place softer shots with and is less forgiving on off center hits. I've also played with a Six Zero Infinity Black Diamond that had a very small sweet spot for a top of the line paddle. I also played with a Six Zero Double Black Diamond Control which felt better than the Infinity but still didn't feel as good to me as the SLK Latitude. I know that the Latitude 2.0 is considered a lower end beginner's paddle but for me it is not too lively, not too mushy, but is the Goldilocks of paddles...just right, and the price is right too! I should probably buy a few of them before they quit making them.

I’m an intermediate to advanced player, but did not want to spend a ton of money on my next paddle. Selkirk is one of the best brands so I thought I’d try this inexpensive paddle and just keep it for my family members to use whenever they play with me if I didn’t like it, but have been very impressed by its performance. It’s the perfect weight for me, the perfect sized grip, and of course I love the color! It has improved my game and hits accurately every time. Highly recommend!

I read a lot of reviews and determined that I wouldn't regret buying this paddle. It took a while to get used to it. The edge of the grip is kind of sharp but after playing a few days I didn't notice. I also met a few people who had this paddle and said it was just a cheap paddle. I am having to overcome my secondary bias and give this paddle a chance. So far, I think it is fine. The weather is improving so I will get out and give it a good test!

Works great for an upgrade

A good medium-quality medium-power paddle, for beginners. I've hit the ground a couple of times and it survived with some scratches along the edge. Seems like it has a large sweet spot, IMHO, which helps with control. Costs a quarter of what a good paddle would cost, so it is a good deal.

Picked this paddle up on a prime deal, worked perfectly fine for a starter paddle. No complaints, you'll end up wanting to upgrade it once you get better at pickleball, but that's not a knock this one for a beginner. I'd recommend it for someone starting out.

Light weight and color is good.

Excellent budget pickleball paddle. Fun colors. Great control, nice sweet spot.
