The next evolution is here: Selkirk LABS Project 008 10mm.
This is Selkirk’s introduction of the high-density PureFoam core paddle technology, available in a thin and powerful 10mm 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. Effortless pop. Explosive power. 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 can get crushed and deformed—especially with other brands that use “thermoformed” or “Gen3” processes without quality controls—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. The high-density property of the PureFoam core creates explosive power with effortless pop – it’s rare for a 10mm paddle to have this much power paired with a forgiving sweet spot and controlled feel. Project 008 sets a new standard for 10mm power paddles.
It’s the future of paddle cores, and LABS members get it first with Project 008.
The 10mm thickness serves the aggressive player with explosive power. A T700 Raw Carbon Fiber Face allows for consistent feel 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 the Invikta shape — the Project 008 offers tailored performance for a power-focused player preference. Combined with thermoformed construction and PureFoam core, the 008 delivers durability, playability, and confidence across all areas of the court.

The Story
The 10mm Selkirk LABS Project 008 is designed for pickleball players seeking a power paddle 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 aggressive playstyles, the PureFoam core creates a large sweet spot for added consistency and power, while retaining enough control to place shots with precision. The paddle's power design was created with pop in mind, making it ideal for players who love to end the rally with a blast.
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 rarely found in a power paddle.
With its advanced materials and tailored shapes, the LABS Project 008 10mm raises the bar for power performance paddles, empowering players to dominate the court with pop, precision, and confidence.
Available in the Invikta paddle shape.
Invikta | Longer Handle & Longest Paddle Shape. Favored for its increased sweet spot size when compared to other elongated pickleball paddle shapes, the Invikta is popular with intermediate to Pro players. With Invikta, you get the elongated shape, a large sweet spot, and an even longer handle that provides more power, more reach, and more spin.

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 compared to traditional polypropylene-core paddles.
T700 Raw Carbon Fiber Face for spin and consistent feel.
The T700 Raw Carbon Fiber Face combines lightweight strength with superior responsiveness, for the optimal blend of pop and precise spin.
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.
