Not Impressed Jonathan Huggett Intermediate
Pros: It looks good - nothing else going for it.
Cons: Durability - it marks easily in so many places Handling - jars your hand Overall - I bought it in mid August and gave up on it this week. I play most days. Expensive mistake. Going back to my old Selkirk S2 Vanguard - thicker paddle, no gimmicks works much better
I needed more pop Chris Intermediate
Pros: Previous very good ping pong player and pretty good paddle player, I first got the CRBN2 16mm for the sweet spot and spin ability. Both were spot on/as advertised! But the reviews also said lacked a bit of pop on the drive shots- also spot on. So I looked for the power paddle that would still allow my spin - itâs my strength- and still a good sweet spot. This paddle delivers pop in abundance but the spin is SICK! I figured Iâd use the CRBN for doubles but it has been Designated for Assignment as the Selkirk is a better overall fit.
Cons: You will have to adjust to the pop this paddle gives you if youâve not been using this type of paddle.
Disappointing.. James (Jim )Wheeler Intermediate
Pros: I like the feel of the paddle having balanced it out with lead tape reducing the vibration and restored power. The cutout I like and the paddle is faster due to reduced air resistance. The control is great and although adding the lead loses a little bit of control it is worth it . Still tinkering a little with the tape but I love where it is heading. 4.0 player at least !!!
Cons: Came as an 8 ounce paddle. To thin with very little power. Handle heavy. Added lead to to balance the paddle out . now 8.61 and feels much better and power restored. First two hours of use I had a sore shoulder and upper arm , adding the lead has resolved that issue. Very pricey and expected much more for the price. A little disappointed in the reviews saying S2 Power Air was powerful . Feel like I was mis lead !! no pun . The restrictions put on returning the paddle makes it difficult to persevere with a paddle that think has promise.. Reviews need to be
Love it. Carla Weeks Intermediate
Pros: It gives me more power. I love how light it is. Great on digs and overheads.
Cons: Chips easily. Iâm hoping Selkirk will replace when it gets too bad. I have a harder time placing wide angles. I hope I will get better at that with this paddle with practice. Iâve had it since Christmas. Pricey.
Love my Selkirk Paddle! CJ Roberts Intermediate
Pros: Great feel and power. Love this paddle BUT I do not want my opponents to buy one.
Cons: Not a one
Lots of power. Carl Weeks Intermediate
Pros: Itâs light weight, has lots of power, flexible. Didnât think Iâd like the short handle, but itâs easier to maneuver close to my body.
Cons: It looks beaten up quickly. Iâm not worrying about it too much because I assume Selkirk will replace it when it starts affecting play. Too, I think my serve is less controllable, but that may just be me and yips.
