Selkirk Sport has been known for developing premium paddles using innovative technology since its conception in the Pickleball industry. Our innovative technology has focused on producing durable paddles capable of the highest level of performance. However, Selkirk Sport saw an immense gap in the market between the starter wooden paddles and the premium honeycomb paddles available. Those just starting out did not want to invest in a premium paddle, but they were not able to enjoy Pickleball to its full potential with the limitations of a wooden paddle. Selkirk Sport has now changed that by developing the NEO Polymer Composite Paddle. The NEO boasts the same polymer honeycomb core as Selkirk’s premium paddle, but it comes at an affordable price due to the utilization of an innovative composite face technology. The NEO paddle is sure to be a huge hit with anyone starting out in Pickleball or looking for a backup paddle for friends and family.

If you have recently been introduced to Pickleball and are not sure which paddle to start with, you may have faced the paddle conundrum. There are dozens of paddles to choose from, ranging from poor performance wooden paddles to the high performing premium paddles with not many quality choices in-between for the new player. You know Pickleball will not be as fun playing with a wooden paddle, but you don’t want to invest in a premium paddle before you discover which one will work best for you. You are looking for a honeycomb paddle that plays similar to the premium options on the market but is still affordable. If this sounds like you, the NEO is your first choice for your new Pickleball adventure!

The NEO combines innovative technology and advanced manufacturing processes to produce a quality polymer honeycomb paddle at an affordable price. It is the Ultimate Starter Paddle and perfect for beginners and as a backup for friends and family.How is the NEO different from your premium paddles? The NEO utilizes the same Polymer PowerCore™ as our premium polymer paddles such as our 30P Epic Graphite ($95). However, the composite face of the NEO is an innovative new technology that lowers the cost of manufacturing. So the paddle plays similar to our premium paddles but at an affordable price. The NEO also comes with a 1-year warranty against manufacturer defects instead of the limited lifetime warranty of our premium paddles.How does the NEO play? To be honest, it plays great! Now, it is not going to play as great as our premium paddles. However, beginners only need a paddle that plays well so that they can get a feel for their style of play. Once they learn whether they need a finesse paddle or power paddle, a light paddle or heavy paddle, they can upgrade to a premium Selkirk paddle that fits their needs and style of play perfectly.Do I really get the paddle in the picture? Yes, you do. Why does an affordable paddle have to look like a child designed it? We don’t want you to be embarrassed when you walk onto the courts so we were sure to add stunning graphics to the NEO.You must have made this paddle in China, right? Nope. This paddle was manufactured solely in the United States, right in our Hayden, Idaho facility. You are right to be suspicious of cheap paddles made in China. Chinese paddles have an infamous record of poor playability and poor durability. But Selkirk wanted to transform the affordable paddle market. We believe we will do that with the NEO, an affordable, durable, USAPA approved, and proudly made in the United states of America polymer honeycomb paddle.
