Labs Project 005 Invikta

The Selkirk Labs Project 005 Invikta is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a fiberglass face. The combination of core and face materials may offer a balance of power and control. Its elongated shape could provide a larger sweet spot and increased reach. Weighing 8 ounces with a 5.25-inch grip and a high swing weight of 120, this paddle might be best suited for players seeking more power. The shorter grip may not be ideal for players who prefer two-handed backhands. The twist weight of 6.13 suggests moderate torsional stability. With a spin rating of 3.6 out of 10 and falling in the 14th percentile for spin, the paddle may not generate as much spin as some other paddles. The high swing weight (77th percentile) may require more effort to swing but could contribute to increased power.
