Selkirk LABS Project 005 was created for players seeking the ideal balance of power and control. Drawing from what players loved about the VANGUARD Power Air and LABS Project 003, Project 005 brought together the best elements into a paddle with an edgeless, open-throat design.

Through player testing and feedback in the LABS program, Project 005 evolved into the Selkirk AMPED Pro Air. This paddle incorporates key LABS innovations such as the FiberFlex+ Fiberglass Face for enhanced power and consistency, the X5+ Honeycomb 16mm Core for a reliable sweet spot, and the ProSpin+ NextGen Texture for unmatched spin.

By refining the original 005 with player insights, the AMPED Pro Air now delivers the ideal balance of power, control, and maneuverability for the all-court player.

FiberFlex+ Fiberglass Face

  • FiberFlex+ stands as a milestone in performance technology. This distinct innovation provides power and consistency, setting a new benchmark for the industry.

X5+ Honeycomb 16mm Core

  • The X5+ Honeycomb 16mm Core takes a progressive leap from its original groundbreaking X5 core. Enhanced for a reliably consistent sweet spot and superior control, this core uses a thicker polypropylene design which, when coupled with the FiberFlex+ face, offers unmatched power.

Air Dynamic Throat for Quicker Swing Speed

  • Refined within Selkirk LABS, the now enlarged Air Dynamic Throat is closer to the handle, optimizing airflow for improved ball control, and providing maximum flex.

ThroatFlex for Enhanced Power and Dwell Time

  • Designed to provide maximum flex upon ball impact, our new ThroatFlex open-throat design extends the dwell time on the paddle and enhances power play, ensuring unmatched consistency.

ProSpin Texture for Long-lasting Maximum Spin Surface

  • Developed in Selkirk LABS, this technology ensures a consistent spin with every strike.

360° Proto Molding for Power and Consistent Sweet Spot

  • Engineered to offer a full composite coverage, our proprietary high-pressure manufacturing process in combination with the 360° Proto Molding technology delivers ultimate power and a consistently reliable feel during each play.

Aero-DuraEdge Edgeless Technology for Increased Durability and Aerodynamics

  • Introduced to enhance the durability of the edge in tandem with the FlexFoam edge perimeter, Aero-DuraEdge Edgeless technology comprises our specialized, impact-resistant blend of composites and polymers.

FlexFoam Perimeter for Power, Durability, and a Larger Sweet Spot

  • By injecting specially formulated foam into the entire perimeter of the paddle, our FlexFoam Perimeter technology increases durability, adds weight, expands the sweet spot, and absorbs vibrations, ensuring a stable and reliable feel. This technology was first developed in Selkirk LABS.
