Selkirk warranty for racquet sports
The short version
Selkirk doesn't cover everything, but keeps paddle (defects) covered to 1 year. That full coverage is the same as most of the 12 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Selkirk's published warranty, checked October 2026.
