Introducing the Selkirk LABS 14mm Project 007

The all-court paddle that paves the way for dramatically enhanced texture durability and spin performance.

The 14mm Selkirk LABS Project 007 is designed for players who prefer a balanced paddle with enhanced durability, addressing the issue of worn-out spin surfaces commonly found in raw carbon paddles. Engineered with the 14mm Patent Pending Titanium Mesh System and Florek Carbon Fiber Face, this paddle provides a larger sweet spot for increased consistency and stability, making it more reliable across all shots. The 14mm core offers greater control while still delivering powerful performance, ensuring players have the confidence to attack while maintaining precision in defensive situations. 

The innovative InfiniGrit Surface is three times as durable as traditional raw carbon surfaces, delivering unmatched longevity and spin potential of up to 2000 RPMs, providing players with more precise and controlled shots. Combined with edgeless DuraEdge technology, advanced materials, and an updated wing design of the Air Dynamic Throat originally developed in LABS for Project 002, the 14mm LABS Project 007 offers a lasting competitive edge.

Available in two paddle shapes.

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.

Epic | Long Handle & Standard Paddle Shape: Pairing a traditional Pickleball paddle shape with a large surface area and a long handle, the Epic delivers the perfect blend of power and control. Versatile and well-rounded, the Epic paddle shape is ideal for the beginner and the seasoned pro.

The 007 is available in the 10mm and 14mm core thickness:

14mm | The 14mm core offers a larger sweet spot when compared to the 10mm core for more stability and consistency without sacrificing power. Ideal for players who want slightly more reliable offense and defense.

The Future of Long Lasting Spin Technology

The LABS Project 007 is pioneering advanced coating technology with the new InfiniGrit Surface. This innovative surface is engineered to be three times as durable as raw carbon surfaces, offering players long-lasting performance without compromising quality. The refined texture of the InfiniGrit Surface significantly enhances spin potential, enabling up to 2000 RPMs, which elevates your game by providing a competitive edge with more precise and controlled shots.

The LABS 007 also features the Patent Pending Titanium Mesh Layer System, optimized for hybrid performance at 14mm. This mesh layer, placed between the face and core, enhances power without compromising control, delivering a balanced combination of both. Unlike the thinner 10mm version, the 14mm core thickness provides added stability, making it ideal for players who want it to be a little more reliable on all shots. The titanium mesh ensures an expanded sweet spot, allowing for consistent playability while retaining the paddle’s responsiveness and control across various shot types.

InfiniGrit Surface for 3x Durability

The InfiniGrit Surface technology triples the durability of traditional embossed epoxy peel ply texture raw carbon surfaces while significantly enhancing spin potential, allowing players to achieve up to 2000 RPMs for more precise and controlled shots. This advanced surface ensures consistent performance and a competitive edge, even during extended play.

Patent Pending Titanium Mesh Layer System for Adding Power While Maintaining Sweet Spot

This advanced construction features a titanium mesh layer strategically positioned between the core and outer plies, delivering a distinctive feel and performance. The rigid titanium mesh enhances the paddle's stiffness while perfectly complementing the exceptional responsiveness of the Florek carbon fiber face. This unique combination provides precision, control, and power, giving players a competitive edge.

Florek Carbon Face for More Control

Florek Carbon Fiber is Selkirk's proprietary blend of carbon fiber, originally developed for the LUXX Control Air, that delivers exceptional control with added power. This advanced fiber composition enhances the sweet spot for consistent performance with every swing. Paired with the Titanium Mesh Core, the Florek Carbon Face provides precise control, while the mesh system contributes to increased power.

Updated Wing Design Air Dynamic Throat for Quicker Swing Speed

Developed in Selkirk Labs during Project 002 and further optimized for Project 007, the Air Dynamic Throat features an updated wing design that enhances airflow, enabling faster swing speeds and improved ball control. This fine-tuned design provides maximum flex, allowing players to generate explosive power while maintaining precise shot placement.

Edgeless DuraEdge for Easier Swings

Designed for optimal durability, the Edgeless DuraEdge helps improve maneuverability, stroke power, and precision by eliminating any friction.

Octagonal Grip for Better Maneuverability

Designed to enhance control, the Octagonal Grip offers you greater maneuverability and shot accuracy on the court.
