Selkirk LABS Project 008 Epic Pickleball Paddle
Overview
The next evolution is here: Selkirk LABS Project 008 13mm.
This is Selkirk’s introduction of the high-density PureFoam core paddle technology, available in a hybrid+ 13mm thickness. The LABS 008 pickleball paddle attacks the concept of paddle durability and responsiveness from its core, delivering a new evolution that will change the future of pickleball paddles.
The 13mm Selkirk LABS Project 008 is designed for pickleball players seeking a hybrid+ paddle that blends power and control with long-lasting durability. Its high-density PureFoam core holds its form longer than polypropylene based on standard impact tests, offering consistent performance over time while setting a new standard for pickleball paddles.
Optimized for players with dynamic playstyles, the 13mm core creates a large sweet spot for added consistency and power, while retaining enough control to place shots with precision. The paddle's hybrid+ design makes it ideal for players who prefer a dynamic attacking approach.
The Project 008 features two core innovations:
- PureFoam Core is hyper-responsive while resisting deformation over time.
- Thermoformed Construction with Additional Foam Wall expands the sweet spot for extra forgiveness.
Epic | Long Handle & Standard Paddle Shape: Pairing a traditional pickleball paddle shape with a large surface area and a long handle, the Epic delivers the perfect blend of power and control. Versatile and well-rounded, the Epic paddle shape is ideal for the beginner and the seasoned pro.
