Love Pickle ProShop review

Selkirk's standard Boomstik Widebody puts the BoomCore, PureFoam fused inside an EVA Power Ring, behind a raw carbon face for strong and consistent power from the first hit. The MOI Tuning System places weight at the edges to make off centre shots more stable, and the paddle comes balanced from the factory. The 8 inch wide face keeps it manoeuvrable in fast exchanges while giving you a forgiving hitting area.

Who it suits

• Players who want a powerful foam paddle that stays controlled at the net
• Players who value a forgiving face more than maximum reach
• Two handed backhand players who like a slightly longer handle on a widebody

Pairs well with

• Selkirk LABS Boomstik Widebody Pickleball Paddle (USA Made)
• Selkirk LABS Boomstik Elongated Pickleball Paddle

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.

Widebody Shape

The Widebody shape enhances stability and sweet spot forgiveness while keeping the paddle quick up at the net.

It also includes a slightly longer handle, making it friendly for two-handed backhands.

If you want a paddle with big power that stays controlled in fast exchanges, this shape gives you the best of both worlds.
