LABS 008 Tour
Elongated13mmGen-4Cold Pressed
The Selkirk LABS 008 Tour is a 13 mm elongated pickleball paddle with a cold pressed, T700 Carbon Fiber face. It generates low spin (29th percentile) with below-average power and average pop. It has a heavier, head-leaning swing weight that favors power and plow-through over hand speed, 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.
