Selkirk LABS Project 007 Pickleball Paddle – Invikta 14mm

Born in Selkirk LABS — Selkirk's research and development division — Project 007 is the result of relentless experimentation and direct feedback from LABS members, the community of players who test, review, and shape the future of Selkirk paddle technology. The 007 Invikta 14mm pairs a thicker, more forgiving core with technologies never before used in a paddle, delivering a balanced blend of power, control, and spin.

As the game demanded paddles that could generate pro-level spin without sacrificing the sweet spot or durability, Selkirk LABS answered with two firsts: the patent-pending Titanium Mesh Layer System and the InfiniGrit™ surface. Together, they give the 007 the stiffness and pop of a thinner paddle with the consistency and forgiveness of a 14mm core.

The first iteration of the Titanium Mesh concept was refined through LABS member testing, pairing the mesh layer between the polypropylene honeycomb core and the Florek carbon face. The result is a paddle that plays with the responsiveness of raw carbon — but with a spin surface engineered to last 3x longer.

Selkirk LABS exists to push boundaries that retail paddles can't. Project 007 introduces construction techniques never before seen in pickleball, and every LABS member's feedback directly influences the next generation of Selkirk paddles. The 007 is the early adopter's paddle — the future of the sport, available now.

Project 007 Overview

The preferred paddle for players who want it all
Generates up to 2000 RPMs of spin for controlled, aggressive drives
Features a larger sweet spot than traditional thin-core power paddles
Creates difficult-to-return shots as a result of superior ball dwell time
Delivers stiffness and pop with a surprising amount of control
Unquestionably the most innovative construction of any Selkirk LABS paddle
The ideal paddle for intermediate to advanced all-court players

Project 007 Technology

Titanium Mesh Layer System: A patent-pending construction featuring a titanium mesh layer strategically positioned between the core and the face. The rigid mesh enhances stiffness while complementing the responsiveness of the Florek carbon fiber face, delivering precision, control, and added power without sacrificing the sweet spot.

Florek Carbon Face: Selkirk's proprietary carbon fiber blend, originally developed for the LUXX Control Air. Florek carbon delivers exceptional control with added power, enhancing the sweet spot for consistent performance with every swing.

InfiniGrit™ Surface: Formulated to generate elite spin with unmatched longevity, the InfiniGrit™ surface is engineered to be 3x more durable than traditional raw carbon surfaces, enabling up to 2000 RPMs so you can shape and control the ball with ease, to dominate on the court.

Air Dynamic Throat: Developed in Selkirk Labs during Project 002 and further refined for Project 007, the Air Dynamic Throat features an updated wing design that optimizes 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: Designed for optimal durability, the Edgeless DuraEdge improves maneuverability, stroke power, and precision by eliminating edge friction and reducing drag through the swing.

Octagonal Grip: The upgraded octagonal grip offers greater maneuverability and shot accuracy on the court, with a secure feel through every swing.

Invikta | Long 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, and is the brainchild of National Pickleball Champion, Tyson McGuffin. Its elongated shape, large sweet spot, and long handle provide more power, more reach, and more spin.

Project 007 Invikta 14mm paddles typically weigh between 7.9 - 8.4 oz
