Selkirk Essentials 2.0 Performance Shorts
SelkirkMen / 7 inch

Essentials 2.0 Performance Shorts

Men · Rust

A seven-inch performance-short option. In the rust colorway shown, the useful comparison is whether pocket contents move and whether the waistband stays comfortable during a split step.

What to check in person

Try a squat and lateral lunge without loading the pockets heavily.

SelkirkWomen / tank

Essentials 2.0 Sport-Wik Tank

Women · blue / cream reference

A tank-top option for court sessions. Compare armhole clearance and coverage through an overhead reach rather than relying only on the standing size-chart measurement.

Move through an overhead reach and a two-handed backhand preparation.

JOOLA Men’s Club Printed Polo
JOOLAMen / polo

Men’s Club Printed Polo

Serpentine · Charcoal Gray

The Serpentine Charcoal polo shown is a polyester–spandex option. Consider collar comfort and freedom through your hitting shoulder, not just whether it resembles tour clothing.

What to check in person

Check whether the hem lifts or the shoulder binds during a serve motion.

JOOLA Women’s Club Short Sleeve
JOOLAWomen / top

Women’s Club Short Sleeve

Dusty Mauve Heather

A short-sleeve court top. The Dusty Mauve Heather reference photo identifies the garment; choosing a size still requires checking the current size chart and your preferred coverage.

What to check in person

Reach forward and upward; make sure the seam placement does not restrict your swing.

Manufacturer information + Picklary comparison prompt; not a hands-on review.

JOOLA Women’s Club Skort
JOOLAWomen / skort

Women’s Club Skort

Women · Navy

A skort alternative to shorts. Compare liner comfort and ball-pocket access while moving, rather than assuming all court skirts are interchangeable.

What to check in person

Practice reaching for a spare ball and taking a low ready position.
