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

Slightly wider and slightly lighter than the SLK paddle I started with. Both have comfortable handles and work well.

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.

It’s good! I have no doubts about it. The grip, its size and weight. I like it.

Excellent paddle with nice control, power and sweet-sport. Great vibration damping. Performs better than more expensive paddles.

Very lightweight and fun to swing. Easy to control.

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.

This is a durable racket.

Good for beginners. Too wide for advanced players

Very happy with my paddle, I’m an absolute novice so this paddle is great - it doesn’t have a seriously centralised sweet spot, so it’s rather forgiving. Also, it’s grip isn’t so big and it’s not square, so I like it’s grip very much.

Better than my old one. More controle, softer rebound possible.

Méfiez-vous ce sont des imitations de très piètres qualités

February 2025: Very good choice for my first paddle, I will need to upgrade to a better (read more expensive) paddle before long, but got now it does the job admirably. January 2026: as predicted, I upgraded to a much better paddle in the Black Friday sales, however this paddle I gave away and that person loves it and had bought 3 more for her friend's as it is even better value at £34... £20 less than I paid originally... A bargain by any measure.
