The next evolution is here: Selkirk LABS Project 008 16mm.
This is Selkirks introduction of the high-density Pure Foam core paddle technology, available in a control-focused 16mm thickness.

Its high-density Pure Foam 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.
Optimized for players with tactical playstyles, the 16mm core creates a large sweet spot for added consistency, so you can place shots with precision. The paddle’s control-focused design makes it ideal for players who prefer a finesse and accuracy-based attacking approach.
