Selkirk LABS Project 008 13mm Pickleball Paddle
LABS 008 13MM
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.
Dampens vibration. Flexes to increase dwell time. Increased spin. Balanced pop. Forgiving sweet spot. No core crushing.
LABS paddles are excluded from our 30 day paddle test period in our return policy.
A CORE BREAKTHROUGH: Groundbreaking paddle core technology.
LABS 008 13MM FEATURES:
- PureFoam Core is hyper-responsive while resisting deformation over time.
- T700 Raw Carbon Fiber Face creates spin for precise control and feel.
- Thermoformed Construction with Additional Foam Wall expands the sweet spot for extra forgiveness.
- Lightweight and Durable Edge Guard protects the paddle while ensuring consistent play.
- Octagonal Handle for grip stability and quick maneuvers.
PureFoam Core for consistent shots and increased paddle lifespan.
As one of the first fully foam cores to meet rigorous playability standards, the PureFoam Core represents 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.
The T700 Raw Carbon Fiber Face combines 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.
The Thermoformed Construction with Additional Foam Wall introduces 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.
The Octagonal Handle improves grip stability and enables quick adjustments, empowering players to react with precision during fast-paced rallies.
