Selkirk LABS Project 008 16mm - Invikta

THE STORY

Please note that your paddle may arrive with either a white or black Geo Grip. The grip color is purely cosmetic and has no impact on performance.

The 16mm Selkirk LABS Project 008 is designed for pickleball players seeking a control paddle that is ultra-responsive 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 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.

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.

With its advanced materials and tailored shapes, the LABS Project 008 16mm pickleball paddle raises the bar for control performance paddles, empowering players to dominate the court with precision and confidence.

Available in the Tour paddle shape.

Tour | Longest Handle & Longest Paddle Shape. Refined from its earlier version, the new Tour shape combines a less rounded profile with a longer handle, offering a design that balances power, control, and adaptability. Its broader sweet spot enhances consistency, making it a more forgiving option for players seeking reliability across all shot types.
