I have had my amped pro air for about two weeks now. I am coming from using the luxx for the last two years. My first match or warmup if you want to call it that the feel of the paddle did not feel the same but after several matches I am really confident in my purchase! I have enjoyed my paddle so far and have had no complaints. The only thing I did differently as far as setup goes was that I did not add lead tape as I did with my luxx I found with this paddle it was not necessary. This is just my personal preference. Overall I have enjoyed my paddle and do not regret my decision at all.
Appreciate hearing your brother's feedback the last few reviews
Selkirk announced they will follow up the green paddle w/ a collage graphic of pickleballs on the paddle face
Lol
hahaha
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Got to use it from the Selkirk rep last Sunday at a University tournament after I left my paddle at the courts and it got stolen. I ended up winning in the finals. I got used to it after 1 warm up match. I purchased one yesterday through the rep and can't wait to use it.
I was coming from the Power air invikta, it feels SOOO much better! I was going to go with luxx, but I'll stick with this till otherwise.
Aizec wearing a Volair shirt while reviewing Selkirk is top tier.
Time to update their names. Confusing to keep track of
For anyone watching this he’s always on point with his paddle Reviews. I bought paddles against his reviews in the past and hated my decision 😂. Trust me when I say this “Don’t fall for Selkirk marketing!” So so so much better paddles out there for almost half the price. Plus spray on grit? Naaaah
Suck up much
WOW!!! Two Aizec reviews in a row. Aizec must be getting a following of his own (I love it). But a paddle review from the two of you is good, because while you have similar games, they are also very different. And you definitely have differing tastes in paddle stats. So having two points of view on a paddle is great!
I've added lead tape to the 4 corners of the paddle and the sweet spot seems even bigger and power has increased.
We need much more of brothers Isac and Patrick. And when is Isac joining the PPA Tour? We need more Minnesota guys to cheer for on You Tube.
Thanks for being quick to get your reviews out - much appreciated! One of the best reviewers on the net! I continue to be unimpressed with the paddles from Selkirk
The neon green is my favorite!
Same, the only reason i bought this paddle
Chris, will you be doing a joola gen 3 update video after all the “crushing”, rattling, and legal issues are addressed or resolved?
This paddle is the closest thing to the 002 I have played with, I have absolutely enjoyed the heck out of it for the 3 weeks I have had it. I hated the power air also.
This is really good to know because I’ve heard a lot of comparison to the Luxx other than in this review, lol-I hated the power air, but I love the Luxx-this paddle next week and I sure hope that I like it. I hope it’s more like the luxx
Neon and white paddles should absolutely be illegal. I know it doesn't effect some people, but for many other thousands of players, it makes the ball very hard to track at certain angles. I'm a 5.3 player and have lost many balls coming off white power airs (and before that the neon pro kennex).
There is a reason the pros have called to ban these colors, and they are no longer allowed at mlp/ ppa.
Jordan!!!! Yes!!!!!!!!! I've been yelling at everyone about this for 1.5 years. It's not only absurd but it really hurts the game. The only way we all get better is to play against shots we can see; if that's delayed even a split second (which it is for all these paddles), then I can't play my best shot, which means my opponent never gets my best shot. Which means we all get worse. Selkirk, listen up and do something about it.
Agreed, I’ll lose sight of the ball when someone has a white paddle. If I played a tournament and someone had that shit, I’d definitely go to a ref with that, or tournament director.
Which Selkirk power air colors are yall referring to? I never noticed and difference, but now im curious
@@HughMungus8for me it’s white, the more white it is the worse it is for me. This may also apply to baby blue as well, but I haven’t played against someone who uses that Selkirk.
First 1:30 of the video: OMG the feel of this paddle must be exquisite
1:21: Oh no....
Middle of the road paddle in terms of power and control. Plays well "out of the box" meaning no lead tape placement needed for me for this paddle. Power Air has more pop still. Decent paddle for the price.
Love your brother’s pickleball tan.
Selkirk- Just buy our paddles please
Im buying a paddle and just want to get a good one off the bat. I am a beginner and am wondering is the pro air or SLK hallow max better?
This mans farmers tan is wild
I think it's pretty common when you play outdoors
I’m usually not a fan of the dude playing with no shirt, but at that point, go ahead every once in a while…
That just kind of ended. 🤔 Makes me sad every time someone says the grit wears out in 1-2 weeks. 6:22ish. Local guy has beat his Luxx to death over the last few months and yesterday hit a backhand drive from that back line that just dove after passing the net.
Yeah I think they figured something out for the 2024 and beyond, my luxx has been battered every day and it’s still like new after almost 3 months my outside edges are identical to the middle of my paddle, I think people just don’t take care of their stuff honestly.
Really wish you would review a Gruvn Muvn 16s. When pulling up your stat sheet it has a very low swing weight. Curious how you feel about it.
The first mention I heard of Luxx was from your brother-really weird because I know a lot of Sellkirk fans have compared it to the Luxx as much as to the power air
Paint grip is the best, mine has not worn off.
I hated the 005. One of the worst paddles I’ve ever tested. The amped Pro on the other hand is definitely my favorite in the Selkirk line up. Perfect in between of the power air and luxx control air IMHO
Great to know that if I ever have the urge to hit with a 2x4 piece of wood there's a paddle out there for me. 🤣
What’s up guys is back!!!!
Any chance you'll review the Mark One/OneX/Two paddles? I just recently heard about them and am curious where they stand against other more well known paddles. Thanks
The Mark OneX is a great paddle. I hit it this last week. Solid all court maybe leaning control paddle. Nice to see a hybrid shape with a longer handle too.
That neon green yeesh. 😂
I was considering this one for a singles paddle. What paddle for singles would you recommend for 3.0- ish player that has good reach and elongated not necessary?
Double black diamond.
Why can't Selkirk apply a peel ply texture in a layer of clear epoxy over the colorful faces of their paddles?
Do they try to confuse people with bright colors?
ISAAC with the guns out
Pickles are green bro 😂
They should outlaw the green due to visibility of blending In. Isn't there a rule about clothing vs the ball... also your brother needs a "Spray On" tan to blend in those arms
I wonder how many paddles Jack Sock goes through in one PPA tourney? He's a hard hitter so I'm sure the grit wears out fast for him...
I was training one of my friends today and we demoed the epic, and the hole in the middle felt very strange, and it was interesting but not for me
what’s up guys
Brother’s tan lines tho
Your brother’s neon white shoulders should be banned along with that green paddle.
Hahaha legendary comment.
Nailed it.
So these paddles are much worse than Joola Gen3 in power and sweet spot size?
This sounds like the Willinator review, an all court paddle that is not really good at anything and awkward in the product lines for both companies, spent too long in r&d and needed to be released 1-2 years earlier.
Green and the gold paddle should be illegal lol. So hard to see the ball off the face.
No can do with spray on grit.
Great Vid!
WHATS UP GUYS
Paint Grit
damn rip Selkirk 😵
"what's guys"
At $180 for a spray paint grit, not worth it. They are plenty of better choices at that price point!
They have a thicker power air it’s called the luxx lol
Other than the Luxxx looking pretty clean, I can’t for the life of me understand why ANYONE would drop the insane $$ on a Selkirk. Meh performance, spray on grit….and don’t tell me because they are made in the USA… because I’ll even question that, as I’ve seen a video clip from an ALIBABA factory that has Selkirk paddles (Not SLK) lined up on the wall in the background… lol
I have no idea why I’m asking you, but I’ll bite-what paddle do you recommend for a 4.3 player? I absolutely love the luxx, but I’m looking for more of a power paddle now now.
@@PositiveVibes-b7m lol, I’m not gonna push a paddle on you. But here’s the truth… that Luxx is actually making you a better player. Everyone going to power paddles, are only masking what they need to work on - mechanics and consistency. Now if the Luxx is just too much of a pillow, then go to something that’s more of a balance. If you’re a die hard Selkirk, then maybe something like this paddle would be good for you. But honestly, you could get 2 really good paddles from smaller brands (and I’m not saying the cheap Amazon brands), that play just as good or better than Selkirks….
The Selkirk Power Air and Luxx Control Air fit my game well. I own 12 other paddles from various brands (PaddleTek, Engage, Ronbus, Joola, ProXR AMA Sport and I'm sure I leaving a couple out). As a rec player the Selkirks have held up well. When it comes to spin it is a combination of paddle surface, my grip, and my technique in my experience. I'm willing to pay the premium because I'm not living pay check to pay check and I appreciate how Selkirk supports pickleball through their sponsorships. Just decided to order the AMPED Pro Air Invikta to see if it fits my game and how it compares to my Luxx and Power Air. It's only money and I prefer to explore to build my own first hand knowledge base on paddles relative to my specific game style and level.
I don’t think much of Selkirk with their painted on grit. They look colorful but that’s about it
Still going with "paint grit" with no warranty on it. Hard Pass. Would like to see the newer "grit sheets" come out in a "clear" sheet so not to change the look of the face.
Green has to go.
What's up brother?! 👆
Selkirk b*tching about Joola Gen 3s then releases a lime green paddle. SMH.
I don't understand why people like Selkirk paddles 🤷♀️
First
First :o
The colors are nice though. ⚫️🔴🟢🔵🟣🤩😎
