Bread and Butter durable grit?

With all the success of the Bread and Butter Loco, does anyone know whether Bread and Butter has plans to come out with a more long-lasting grit surface, like what Honolulu, Selkirk, Spartus, and 11SIX24 are doing? The reason I’m asking is that if Bread and Butter is heading that direction, I’d probably hold off on buying one of the other long-lasting grit paddles and just wait for them to catch up. Does that make sense?

Selkirk Boomstik without MOI CLAMPS

Hey guys, anyone tried removing their clamps on their Selkirk Boomstik? I removed my MOI CLAMPS and replaced it with Selkirk Weight Tapes, got to admit that it does feel very good in the hands but it just doesn’t hit right, idk if it’s me but I had another friend that tried it out, he said the same thing as well. Any kind soul here mind sharing their set up for their Selkirk Boomstik without MOI clamps? Much appreciated.

Does Boomstik still have loose edge guard issues?

I'm thinking of getting a Boomstik on Facebook marketplace. The paddle looks barely used, but I'm worried that the edge guard might become loose in the future. At that point I can't get a replacement for it through warranty. For people who have a Boomstik, did you edge guard ever get loose? I heard Selkirk originally had this problem in their first batch, but then they fix it in later versions. I don't know if that's true though.

Selkirk SLK Halo Pro Max

Hello everyone. Pretty good Table Tennis player trying to get into pickleball. Been less than a month playing pickleball and I have been using Selkirk Atlas Max. I find the atlas max racket to be pretty good, amazing power and a great sweet spot. I tried playing singles but I find my racket having really bad power so I'm looking for a change. Went through Chat GPT and I got this suggestion. Please let me know your views on this racket. What I am looking for is a control, a bit of spin and a bit ...

Question about Selkirk Advocate

So im a local open play player in a large city who is striving to be a 5.0. Im about a 4.5 right now with a long way to go. I genuinely like my selkirk gear, and often wear a selkirk shirt, hat, and both my paddles are selkirk. I'm usually one of the best at open play (3.0-4.2s are there), i get asked all the time "youre so good, are you a selkirk sponsor?". I always laugh and say no. And when i do in fact play sponsored players, i get smacked like 11-6. But it got me thinking, since i get aske...

Selkirk brand of shoes and gear any good?

I see a lot of Selkirk ads popping up on my various feeds and apps. I know their boomstick is hot (and controversial) right now, but I also see a lot of other gear like shoes, bags, etc. Has anyone tried any of this other gear and if so opinions on quality and durability? Thanks

How the hell is the Selkirk boomstick legal?

I got to demo this paddle last night after seeing every bro-bro at my local court with it. Immediately I noticed how stupidly powerful paddle this is. And that is coming from someone who had the illegal joola paddles, (mod TA) the gearbox power pro, etc. this one hit harder than all of them. Which makes me think Selkirk must be making secret handshakes with USAP, there is no other way in my mind that it would be possible. Does Selkirk have friends in high places or something? I started digging...

Latest Surface Grit Testing Updates

TLDR: * Raw carbon fiber is the worst. * Infinigrit (Selkirk) is better, but not as good as the newer surfaces. * Hexgrit (11six24), Permagrit (Spartus), and Diamond Tough (Six Zero) are the best, and perform around the same level. Assuming the rate of degradation remains stable, this is a big boon for paddle longevity. Source: John Kew - [Do “Permanent” Paddle Grits Really Last?

Current MPP Lineup!

Just got the MPP Turbo. Can't wait to hit with it and feel the similarities and differences between these. Also waiting on the speedup Tide. Can't wait for a durable grit to be added hopefully like others started doing. Vapor Power 2, J6CR Blue Grit, Selkirks infinigrit and Spartus P1. Anyone else feel like MPP core has become their favorite material choice? The drops, resets and serves just feel right to me. I've tried numerous paddles and landed on loving MPP core ones best.

Paddletek return process is horrible

I would advise against purchasing paddles from this company due to their challenging return process. Unlike other companies such as Selkirk, Joola, or Amazon, there is no straightforward return option on their website. Instead, you are required to initiate the return by sending an email or making a phone call. When I contacted their customer support via email, I only received an automated response (but from a person) that did not include a return label or the return address. It took five days an...

Ordered two new paddles. AireoCyclone and Selkirk Dauntless. On complete different spectrums, according to my research. I am an advocate for Selkirk so got it pretty cheap. Aireeo was $170 after tax, shipping, and discount. We will test them out today. Anyone have either? What did you think about it?

Swell Pickleball

Has anyone played with a Swell pickleball? Just learned today that the Arnold classic tournament will be using them (they previously had both the joola HC-40 and the Selkirk listed as official ball). I can’t find any reviews online that are not ads. Is it like another popular ball? Can I buy it in store to use it (it won’t ship in time).

Selkirk warranty process

Hey everyone quick question for those who’ve done a Selkirk warranty replacement: After your claim got approved, did Selkirk send you a shipping/tracking notification first, or did the replacement paddle just show up without any heads-up? The approval email didn’t include any ship date or tracking info, so I’m wondering what to expect. Thanks!

Selkirk denied warranty claim?

I sent my Selkirk Luxx Control S2 for replacement due to dead spots. I was not getting any updates so I called a couple of times and they said they are waiting for my paddle to be shipped from their BC location to their US location. Just now I got a FedEx email saying I’m getting a shipment this week from Selkirk. But I received not emails from Selkirk(checked junk) confirming they approved my claim. Does this mean my original paddle is being sent back and they declined my claim?

I was at the Carvana Cup and didn’t see any Selkirk Amped Pro Air paddles or similar rounded edge paddles. Everyone had paddles with the rims around the edges. Can anyone tell me why no one on the 41 courts had them? Were they not allowed or are they just bad paddles?
