Selkirk’s New S2 Pro Ball Comes With a Bold 1-Year Promise

A harder feel, textured surface and one-year warranty against cracking and warping give Selkirk’s newest ball plenty to prove — and plenty of appeal

You can spend $250 on a paddle and still have your game derailed by a ball that’s shaped like an egg.

Selkirk’s new S2 Pro takes aim at that familiar frustration, pairing a harder, faster playing feel with a warranty that covers more than cracks. If it goes out of round, that’s covered, too.

For anyone who’s ever interrupted a game to spin a suspicious ball in the air, that’s an attention-grabber.

The warranty is the headline

Selkirk calls its one-year no-crack, out-of-round warranty an industry first. The distinction matters: A ball doesn’t have to split open to become unplayable. Warping can mean erratic bounces, unstable flight and another trip into the bag for a replacement.

Backing both durability and shape gives players a compelling reason to take this launch seriously.

What else is new?

Built for all levels of play, the S2 Pro brings several features worth knowing:

• A harder, faster feel. Selkirk designed it for a crisp response and high energy return off the paddle. Think lively hands battles and a ball built to keep pace with aggressive play.
• Construction focused on staying round. Its True-Round injection molding is designed to maintain the ball’s shape and resist cracking around the holes under repeated impact.
• A patented 38-hole layout. Three hole sizes are arranged to distribute mass evenly. Selkirk says the design improves stability in flight, handles wind and spreads impact stress across the surface.
• Texture from the first hit. A textured finish is designed to provide extra spin immediately, without waiting for the surface to scuff up through play.

The S2 Pro is also the official ball of APP Asia, adding a competitive-stage connection to its tournament-focused pitch.

The appeal is straightforward: a fast, responsive ball with engineering aimed at keeping it consistent — and a warranty that puts some weight behind the promise.

Your next questionable bounce might require a different excuse.
