LABS 008 Epic
Widebody13mmGen-4Cold Pressed
The Selkirk LABS 008 Epic is a 13 mm widebody pickleball paddle with a cold pressed, T700 Carbon Fiber face. It generates low spin (23th percentile) with low power and below-average pop. It has a light, maneuverable swing weight built for quick hands at the net, but low twist weight, so off-center hits lose more pace. Overall it's a control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
