Love Pickle ProShop review

The standard Selkirk LABS Boomstik Elongated is made in Asia with a raw carbon hitting surface over the BoomCore, Selkirk's fused PureFoam and EVA Power Ring core built for power that holds up over time. Its semi permanent perimeter weights raise the moment of inertia, which steadies the face on mishits and enlarges the sweet spot. At 16.5 inches long with a 5.8 inch handle, it suits players who swing fully from the back of the court.

Who it suits

• Attacking players who drive and serve from the baseline
• Players moving to a foam core paddle who want power with no break in period
• Players with two handed backhands who want extra torque on groundstrokes

Pairs well with

• Selkirk LABS Boomstik Elongated Pickleball Paddle (USA Made)
• Selkirk LABS Boomstik Widebody Pickleball Paddle
• Selkirk Core Series Team Backpack (Black)

Product details

Project Boomstik

This Boomstik paddle is made in Asia.

The surface of the paddle is Raw Carbon.

Your paddle is already precisely weighted for a maximum sweet spot and balance, right out of the box.

Meet Project Boomstik, the latest innovation from Selkirk LABS that rewrites the narrative on power paddles.

Forget the status quo of sacrificing durability for power — where the only way to maximize velocity is for the core to quickly deteriorate — because this paddle has power that lasts.

Seriously, our engineers keep running durability tests over and over again, but still haven't been able to take it to failure.

No core crush. No break-in periods. Explosive power and consistent performance from day one.

BoomCore Technology

What makes it possible? At the center lies the new BoomCore — PureFoam surrounded by an EVA Power Ring and fused together for our most powerful core system ever.

The BoomCore has solid feel, a massive sweet spot, and lasting durability — with booming power for hard shots that catch your opponent by surprise.

If they blink, they may miss it — this paddle shaves a crucial 25 milliseconds off your opponent's response window.

That difference in power turns reachable shots into forced errors.

MOI Tuning System

Project Boomstik also introduces the MOI Tuning System — a new paddle technology that delivers elite performance with a maximum sweet spot and balance, right out of the box.

It’s an overall design approach that includes a semi-permanent perimeter weighting solution that balances mass distribution with precision-engineered weights clamped to the edge guard.

By putting the weight exactly where we want it — shifting mass toward the outer regions of the paddle and increasing the moment of inertia — it stabilizes the paddle during off-center hits.

The result is a larger and more forgiving sweet spot to help you get more balls over the net.

Elongated Shape

The Elongated shape adds extra reach and plow-through for players who drive from deeper in the court.

The longer handle also supports two-handed backhands and gives you more torque on groundstrokes.

If you want a paddle that feels powerful and connected on full swings, this shape will give you the added extension you're looking for.
