The Selkirk LABS Project 008 16 mm pickleball paddle is designed for players who want a very responsive, durable control paddle. The PureFoam core, made of high-density foam, holds its shape longer than polypropylene in standard impact tests, and the thermoformed construction with an extra foam wall enlarges the sweet spot and gives more forgiveness. The 16 mm core creates a large sweet spot, for tactical-style players who place the ball with precision.
