The Story
Labs Project 003 takes what players love most about the AMPED and VANGUARD pickleball paddles and elevates it to an entirely new level, with a larger sweet spot, more power, and more spin.
Selkirk AMPED transformed the pickleball industry back in 2017 as the first ever thick core paddle and Labs 003 builds upon this innovation, becoming the new thickest core paddle on the market, at an impressive 20mm thick. This advancement is only made possible by our latest innovations—360° Proto Molding single-piece construction and a new lightweight polypropylene core—developed in Selkirk Labs.
Labs 003 also features the revolutionary Pro Spin+ technology, Air Dynamic Throat, and FlexFoam Perimeter developed in Selkirk Labs Project 002.
Additionally, the 003 introduces Aero-DuraEdge Edgeless technology for increased aerodynamics and durability.
