The Selkirk LABS Project 002: a paddle designed to deliver pure, unstoppable power.
Through our LABS program and direct player feedback, Project 002 evolved into the Selkirk VANGUARD Power Air, now part of our Selkirk paddle lineup.
Key innovations from the 002 that shaped the Selkirk VANGUARD Power Air include the QuadFlex 4 Layer Hybrid Face for optimal power and control, the Air Dynamic Throat for quicker swing speeds, and ThroatFlex technology for enhanced dwell time and power.
LABS-driven technologies like the ProSpin+ NextGen Texture and Aero-DuraEdge Edgeless design ensure the Power Air delivers unmatched performance.

The Goal
- Maximum power output without sacrificing control
- Enhanced spin generation through advanced textures and materials
- Aerodynamics and swing speed
- Durability in an edgeless design
The Reaction
Players loved the LABS 002 because it delivered power and spin, thanks to its unique design features like the sandpaper-like textured face, the iconic “smiley face” hole, and its elongated, long-handled shape.
The Innovation
There were many innovations carried through from the 002, notably the ProSpin+ Texture and the Air Dynamic Throat.
