Selkirk Pro S1 Pickleball

90Universal Acclaim

Reviewers overwhelmingly praise the Selkirk Pro S1 for exceptional durability in cold weather, with many reporting no cracks after dozens of games in freezing temperatures where other balls would fail. The ball is consistently described as faster and harder than Franklin X-40s, offering excellent spin and bounce characteristics that advanced players appreciate. However, a notable minority of reviewers report the balls going out of round or warping after extended play, creating unpredictable bounces, though most still consider this preferable to cracking.

Out of Round: The ball seems to get a little out of round during play compared to the lifetime ball making it a little more unpredictable on the bounce.

Not a ball snob: I have always really liked playing with the Selkirk Pro S1 pickleballs. On both indoor and outdoor surfaces. Nice pop. Good dwell time. Doesn’t break like other balls. Yet most of the time I play I am surrounded by ball snobs. “Tournaments don’t use Selkirk balls,” is what I hear mostly. Works for me.
