Selkirk LABS Project 008 Maxima 16mm Pickleball Paddle

Selkirk LABS Project 008 Invikta 16mm Pickleball Paddle

Discover an extraordinary blend of responsive feel and groundbreaking innovation with the Selkirk LABS Project 008 Maxima 16mm Pickleball Paddle. This is a paddle engineered from the ground up for optimal performance, prominently featuring Selkirk's cutting-edge PureFoam core. This high-density foam innovation is the driving force behind its exceptional durability, consistent play, remarkable spin potential, and improved ball retention, all contributing to a connected feel that elevates every shot.

The paddle's unique Maxima shape is a key differentiator, combining a wide 8" body  width with an elongated 5.7" handle length. This thoughtful design, measuring 15.975" in overall length, creates an expansive sweet spot, maximizing forgiveness and providing a generous surface area for consistent contact. The extended handle caters to players who prefer two-handed backhands or simply enjoy a longer grip for increased leverage and reach, enhancing court coverage and shot versatility. The 4.25" grip circumference, paired with Selkirk’s standard-sized white geo octagonal handle, ensures a secure and exceptionally comfortable hold, allowing players to maintain precise control through every dink, drive, and volley.

The hitting surface of the Maxima 16mm features a T700 Raw Carbon Fiber Face, a material celebrated for its exceptional ability to generate spin and provide refined ball control. This cutting-edge face material empowers players to execute intricate shots with pinpoint accuracy, delivering controlled drives and artful dinks that challenge opponents. The paddle's robust construction is further enhanced by its thermoformed build with an injected foam perimeter. This advanced construction method not only significantly boosts the paddle's overall durability and resilience but also actively expands the sweet spot, leading to a more consistent and forgiving feel across the entire face. An integrated edge guard provides additional protection, safeguarding the paddle against impacts and contributing to its long-lasting performance, even under aggressive, strategic play.

Weighing approximately 8.1 oz, the Project 008 Maxima 16mm offers a stable and substantial feel, perfectly balanced for control-oriented players. The 16mm PureFoam core, being thicker, delivers exceptional vibration dampening, translating to a remarkably soft and comfortable feel upon impact. This core thickness is ideal for players who value exquisite touch and nuanced feel, allowing for delicate dinks, precise drops, and controlled resets. The paddle’s average swingweight of 111 (may vary +/- 2 pts) and average twistweight of 6.51 (may vary +/- 0.3 pts) further contribute to its stable and responsive feel, ensuring consistent performance and control in complex exchanges.
