What Our Paddle Lab
Experts Say
The Selkirk Labs 008 Invikta 13mm delivers a peak exit velocity of 41.58 MPH, offering players explosive yet controlled power with a lively, responsive feel on contact. Its low consistency rating of 2.77 standard deviation stands out as a key strength, ensuring remarkably consistent exit velocity across the paddle’s vertical face. This uniform response allows players to swing with confidence, knowing they’ll get predictable power and precision whether striking high or low on the paddle. The balance point of 9.18 inches provides a well-tuned blend between head and handle weighting, maintaining stability and control through fast volleys and quick exchanges. A twist weight of 25.04 oz·in² enhances stability on off-center contact, keeping the paddle face square and minimizing deflection during play. With a spin rate of 916.24 RPM, players can generate controlled spin and shot shape when needed, while the swing weight of 844.39 oz·in² delivers a smooth balance between power and maneuverability. Altogether, the 008 Invikta 13mm combines elite-level exit speed with exceptional consistency—creating reliable, repeatable power across every inch of the paddle face.
