Selkirk and Tesla have reunited to launch the Tesla Aurum Pickleball Paddle, a highly anticipated follow-up to their previous sold-out collaborations. This limited-edition, USAP-approved paddle is available exclusively through the Tesla website for $295.
Key Features of the Tesla Aurum Paddle
While the aesthetic of the Aurum edition has been refreshed compared to the original Plaid model, the paddle retains the high-performance technical specifications that defined the initial release. Here are the core features included in the design:
- Full-foam construction: The paddle utilizes a solid foam core to provide a consistent feel and solid feedback during play.
- Iconic throat hole design: This signature aesthetic and structural element remains a centerpiece of the collaboration's visual identity.
- Integrated MOI Tuning System: This feature allows for optimized Moment of Inertia, helping players customize the paddle's stability and swing weight.
- Two-ply carbon fiber face: Engineered specifically to provide players with superior control and precision during dinks and drives.
- InfiniGrit Surface: A specialized grit technology designed to enhance spin production while ensuring the surface texture remains durable over an extended period.
- TPU Power Ring: This lightweight perimeter structure is a standout addition developed specifically for this paddle. It serves to dampen unwanted vibrations and stabilize the paddle face, which helps prevent the long-term core crushing often seen in traditional polymer honeycomb paddles.
Given the history of these collaborations—where previous iterations sold out in a matter of hours—interested buyers are encouraged to act quickly. For those who miss out on the initial sale, there is an opportunity to enter a giveaway for a chance to win the paddle without the pressure of a rapid checkout process.
