Description
Precision Feel. Lightweight Performance. The Ultimate Fit.
Unlock a new level of connection with your paddle using the Selkirk Thin Grip. Designed for players who demand exact feedback and a streamlined handle profile, this professional-grade replacement grip reduces bulk without sacrificing comfort. Whether you have smaller hands or simply prefer the heightened "bevel recognition" of a slimmer handle, the Selkirk Thin Grip is your solution for a custom, high-performance feel.
Product Highlights
-
Slimmer Profile: Specifically engineered to reduce your paddle’s handle circumference to approximately 4.0", making it ideal for players with smaller hands (including juniors and women) or those who prefer a tighter, more compact hold.
-
Enhanced Ball Feedback: By minimizing the cushioning layer, this grip brings your hand closer to the paddle handle. This increases your ability to feel the bevels (edges) of the handle, allowing for faster, more precise grip changes between forehand and backhand shots.
-
Lightweight Advantage: Shed unnecessary weight. The Thin Grip is approximately 0.2 oz lighter than the standard Selkirk Comfort Grip, helping to lower the overall swing weight of your paddle for faster hand speed at the kitchen line.
-
Secure & Tacky: Despite its thinner construction, it features a premium tacky surface that ensures a secure, non-slip hold, giving you confidence during high-pressure points and sweaty conditions.
Why Choose the Selkirk Thin Grip?
1. The Perfect Fit for Smaller Hands Standard paddle grips can often feel bulky and difficult to maneuver for players with smaller hand sizes. The Selkirk Thin Grip slims down the handle, allowing you to wrap your fingers more securely around the paddle for better leverage and control.
2. Master Your Angles Advanced players know that "bevel recognition"—knowing exactly which angle your paddle face is pointing by feel alone—is critical for spin and placement. The reduced cushion of the Thin Grip translates vibration and shape directly to your hand, giving you the tactile feedback needed to execute precise dinks and drives.
3. Customize Your Swing Speed Every ounce counts. By swapping a standard cushioned grip for the Thin Grip, you instantly shave off roughly 0.2 ounces from the handle. This subtle shift makes the paddle feel lighter and more responsive, perfect for quick reaction volleys.
