The next evolution is here: Selkirk LABS Project 008 13mm.

This is Selkirks 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.

Dampens vibration. Flexes to increase dwell time. Increased spin. Balanced pop. Forgiving sweet spot. No core crushing.

A CORE BREAKTHROUGH:Groundbreaking paddle core technology.

You never get complacent, andneither do we. So we werent satisfied with pickleballs status quo of polypropylene-core paddles. Over time, these polypropylene cores get crushed and deformed affecting the paddles responsiveness and making even the most routine shots unpredictable. What does that mean? You have to replace your paddle more often.

The solution: a completely new PureFoam core technology, made from high-density foam that resists crushing and deformation increasing durability while reducing how often you need to replace your paddle.

Aside from durability improvements, the PureFoam core also enhances the paddles performance through an enlarged sweet spot and a less stiff feel than that of polypropylene cores. High-density foam dampens vibration and gives the paddle more responsiveness flexing to increase the dwell time while creating spin and ensuring consistency throughout the paddle face. This added control is not at the expense of power PureFoams high-density property creates lasting power.

Its the future of paddle cores, and LABS members get it first with Project 008.

The 13mm thickness serves the versatile yet aggressive player with hybrid+ all-court performance. AT700 Raw Carbon Fiber Faceallows for precise control and spin. TheThermoformed Construction with Additional Foam Wallsurrounds the perimeter, enhancing the paddles responsiveness and durability while expanding the sweet spot to give you extra forgiveness.

Available in three shapes Epic, Invikta, and Tour the Project 008 offers tailored performance for different player preferences. Combined with thermoformed construction and PureFoam core, the 008 delivers durability, playability, and confidence across all areas of the court.

Orders include aLABS Red Paddle Collectors Case, tungsten tape, and certificate of authenticity.We recommend you weight your paddle with the tungsten tape for optimal performance.

Project 008 13mm Technology

• PureFoam Coreis hyper-responsive while resisting deformation over time.
• T700 Raw Carbon Fiber Facecreates spin for precise control and feel.
• Thermoformed Construction with Additional Foam Wallexpands the sweet spot for extra forgiveness.

PureFoam Core for consistent shots and increased paddle lifespan.

As one of the first fully foam cores to meet rigorous playability standards, thePureFoam Corerepresents a new standard for pickleball paddles with its long-lasting durability and responsiveness. The high-density foam is engineered to resist crushing and deformation over time while expanding the sweet spot compared to traditional polypropylene-core paddles.

T700 Raw Carbon Fiber Face for spin and control.

TheT700 Raw Carbon Fiber Facecombines lightweight strength with superior responsiveness, for a balanced blend of pop and precise control.

Thermoformed Construction with Additional Foam Wall for an expanded sweet spot with extra forgiveness.

TheThermoformed Construction with Additional Foam Wallintroduces a new level of durability and performance by reinforcing the paddle’s edges. This advanced design incorporates a foam wall along the paddle’s perimeter, seamlessly bonded during the thermoforming process. The foam wall enhances structural integrity while expanding the effective sweet spot, ensuring consistent performance across the entire face of the paddle.

By distributing impact forces more evenly, this construction reduces vibration and improves energy transfer, resulting in a paddle that feels solid yet responsive with every shot. The added foam wall also contributes to increased edge durability, making the paddle better equipped to withstand intense gameplay without compromising its aerodynamic profile.

Octagonal Handle for grip stability and quick maneuvers.

TheOctagonal Handleimproves grip stability and enables quick adjustments, empowering players to react with precision during fast-paced rallies.
