Selkirk Sport Boomstik Pickleball Paddle: Selkirk Sport has released the LABS Project Boomstik, a high-performance pickleball paddle built to deliver more power, stability, and durability. The new design uses advanced foam core technology and engineered weight distribution to help players compete at the highest level without losing control or consistency.
New Technology for a Faster Game
As pickleball becomes faster and more aggressive, players need equipment that can keep up. The LABS Project Boomstik uses Selkirk’s BoomCore construction, which combines a PureFoam core with an EVA Power Ring. This design produces 12 percent more power than the average Generation 3 paddle and prevents “core crush,” which happens when a paddle’s core breaks down over time.
The paddle also introduces the Moment of Inertia (MOI) Tuning System. This perimeter weighting spreads mass across the paddle for a bigger sweet spot and better stability, even on off-center hits. Players no longer need to add lead tape to get this effect.
“Boomstik represents a true leap forward in paddle technology,”
said Tom Barnes, Director of Research and Development at Selkirk Sport.
“We’ve engineered a paddle that delivers unmatched power while maintaining the feel, balance, and durability competitive players demand. It’s about giving athletes every possible advantage on the court.”
Endorsed by Top Players
Professional players Jack Sock and Catherine Parenteau are already using the Boomstik in competition. In tests, Parenteau served at 65 mph and Sock at 78 mph.
“This is an insane paddle. Honestly, everyone better watch out,”. “This, for me, is by far the best paddle to date.”(Jack Sock)
Price and Availability
The Boomstik comes in both elongated and widebody shapes. It is priced at USD $333 and sold only through Selkirk.com and selected LABS retailers. Each purchase includes a USD $33 LABS Feedback Credit for players who share their feedback.
Why It Matters
The LABS Project Boomstik could change the way competitive players approach the game. By offering more power and durability without losing control, it may set a new standard for professional and amateur pickleball equipment. Its technology could also influence future paddle designs across the sport.
