The next evolution is here: Selkirk LABS Project 008 16mm.
This is Selkirks introduction of the high-density PureFoam core paddle technology, available in a control-focused 16mm 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. Light pop. Forgiving sweet spot. No core crushing.
Maxima | Longer Handle & Wide Paddle Shape. Maxima is the latest wide-body shape with an elongated handle, popular with players who use a two-handed backhand and want the added reach. With the Maxima shape, you get more surface area and a generous (and forgiving) sweet spot that helps avoid mishits.

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 the optimal 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.
We include tungsten tape with all 008 orders and we recommend you weight your paddle for optimal performance.
