Love the 10mm Selkirk LABS Project 008: As you know, some paddles are not for everyone. This paddle is fast and can be hard to control. If you like thin paddles, this is for you! I have three and they are amazing. I'm able to drive, dink, and place the ball where I want it, fast or slow, with this paddle. Enjoy the ride with this model!

Very good for control: If you want something very tactical and precise, this is a good option. It lacks power, and I think it's not suitable for aggressive players. However, if your style is more tactical and focused on precision, this is ideal for you. It feels very different when hitting the ball if you want to generate power.

This is a top-tier control paddle with an elongated shape. It's designed for players who prioritize precision, feel, and spin. It features Selkirk's new "PureFoam" core, which provides incredible touch while enhancing the sweet spot and dampening vibration. It's not for power players but if you rely on spin and placement to win points rather than sheer force, the 008 16 mm Tour model is one of the best options available. So, while you need a big budget for this paddle, it's 100% worth it for ...
