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.

A CORE BREAKTHROUGH: Groundbreaking paddle core technology.

You never get complacent, and neither do we. So we weren’t satisfied with pickleball’s status quo of polypropylene-core paddles. Over time, these polypropylene cores get crushed and deformed – affecting the paddle’s 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 paddle’s 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 – PureFoam’s high-density property creates lasting power.

It’s 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. A T700 Raw Carbon Fiber Face allows for precise control and spin. The Thermoformed Construction with Additional Foam Wall surrounds the perimeter, enhancing the paddle’s 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 a LABS Red Paddle Collectors Case, tungsten tape, and certificate of authenticity. We recommend you weight your paddle with the tungsten tape for optimal performance.

There is currently a limit of 2 Project 008 13mm paddles per customer.
