SLK Neo by Selkirk Pickleball Paddle Set (2 paddles, bag, 3 balls) for $59.99

SLK Neo by Selkirk Pickleball Paddle Set including 2 paddles, a carry bag, and 3 balls for $59.99. Yes, I know there are many cheaper sets available, but this may be of interest to anyone who wants equipment from a reputable U.S. based sports equipment company. I.e. Selkirk. I bought two 2-packs vs one 4-pack (offered by other brands) so that it is easy to lend a set to friends or family such they can have their own carrying case while I keep my own.

There is another deal posted for the SLK Prime set at Costco for $79.99 and for those wondering about the difference in these two very similar sets, Selkirk provided this response to a question on Amazon: "The Prime utilizes a different core technology that will provide it with a slight power edge over the Neo. That being said, control is typically the most important feature for beginning players, and the Neo will shine in this way." A user also posted in the Costco thread that Selkirk called them and stated: "...and were definitively clear about Costco Paddles being better. They told me that Selkirk Prime Max (Costco) is technologically more advanced and is 100% fiberglass with no Carbon black or Graphite compared to Neo (Amazon item) which includes both graphite and carbon black in addition to fiberglass." That being said, graphite and carbon are generally consider advanced materials to fiberglass so not sure I understand that post.

I was able to fund a couple "expert reviews" on the Neo paddles, but none on the Prime.
