Interesting paddle! Love the quality content you're producing for the world of pickleball

Absolutely love that you don’t give a rip about the power and influence of corporate America. Lesser podcasters and reviewers would never be so transparent, blunt and honest. Well done!!

Played this one tonight. I really like it. Currently using the DBD. You really feel connected to the ball with the 006. The top spin is crazy good. It didn't feel as heavy as advertised, very well balanced and the swing weight felt more similar to the Scorpeus 14mm.- very light.

The Lab paddles look great, but I just can't justify spending that much when there are so many great options out there at half the price.

got mine in a week ago, honest review.... took me 5 games to get use to it from my primary power air. in the 6th game it clicked to not think but just hit, once i did that i can honestly say its the best paddle ive used. paddles i currently own, volair forza mach 1, power air invikta, 005 invikta, vanguard s2, amped epic, halo control. 006 hands down the best one yet.

Thanks for the great review! Entered! As a PB newb, I really appreciate your great content. It’s been super helpful!

Thanks for the opportunity to win the giveaway!!!! Great review. Looks like a fun paddle, but $333 is steep for my pockets.

Thanks for the excellent review and for letting me know your brother who used the Electrum E found a replacement paddle. I have switched to a paddle that is radically different from anything you have tested: The Armour Goliath. Engage used to produce the Big Dog, which was similar. Both these paddles are 16 inches long, 8 inches wide and sport a 3 inch handle. Hence, each has a very large hitting area. Both these paddles are made for players who keep one finger on the paddle face. You should test the Goliath since few people even know it exists. It is the ultimate paddle for dealing with bangers and playing defence.

Thanks chris! This review is so good I completely forgot this is $333

Thank you Chris for not having viewers comment for contest entry. It makes reading the comments much more valuable to your viewers! Much appreciated.

I loved the review. I'll get started using my 006 for the first time on Thursday.

Dope review! Like the part of "Who this paddle is for" 🍄

Great review. Hopefully they'll make a commercial version that's more accessible because it sounds like they have a winner here. I use an Electrum E 16mm as my 'go to' for doubles. (Sometimes i use the Solaire but its a bit too powerful unless i really dial my game in, though i like its thermo feel and pop much better than the E.) In upgrading to a gen 2 i got the DBD but I was like, 'since I'm moving away from the E maybe i'll try out lead tape.' I taped the same way Collin Johns does- a six inch strip starting from the throat (2 grams, 1/2 inch but in his insta vid he layers two 1 gram strips.) The paddle plays SO much better now- its almost like a half-thermo feeling; very solid, more power but not uncontrollable but with basically the same control. dinks and drops are amazing. The extra weight felt a bit odd (though nothing as bad as a hyperion) but its worth it. Like gen 1 elongated, the ball still totally dies off of the top but the tape extends the sweet spot. If anyone has never used lead tape and is changing paddles (with the intent to keep it) I would HIGHLY recommend sticking some tape on it rather than letting it sit in the closet.

Nice work as usual Chris. Entertaining and informative. (fingers crossed for the giveaway )

Hi. I am a Selkirk advocate, but at the same time try a lot of paddles. It would be great for you to discuss how long the surface stays effective for spin. I found on the 003 for me it's about two months. Also, note that on Selkirk's warranty, it's for manufacturing defects only. When I wanted to replace my 003 because of loss of spin, it was extremely difficult because quote it wasn't a manufacturing defect. Keep the good info coming

Dude I really enjoyed this content. You should try to incorporate this a bit more on the channel. Super refreshing to have someone discuss what exactly was going through there head during a point.

Good review. Super informative and fair. 🎉

Fantastic review, Chris. Does the surface look the same under a microscope as other raw (peel-ply) paddles? I'm very curious about their marketing of 12K fiber. Usually 3K/12K, etc. refers to the tow size for woven carbon fiber cloth, which we now know is not the same as peel-ply embossed carbon fiber. I'm also curious which factory they're finishing the paddles at here in the USA, since every other raw carbon fiber paddle that I know of is finished in China. Regardless, I'm happy to hear that Selkirk is pushing innovation for raw carbon fiber surfaces

I currently play with the Paddletek bantam EX- L pro and love the weight of 8.7 ounces. the paddle has plenty of pop for me, and I love hand battles with it. the bad thing about it is i have to really concentrate when dinking or i will pop up the ball (more than i think i should). I wonder how much easier control the 005 would give me than my current paddle. the weight of the 006 is more inline with what i am looking for however, so i might go that route instead. not sure i trust the spec sheet on Selkirk's website showing the 005 conveniently having the lowest score and the lowest price.

thanks for review, still waiting for my 6-0 DBD impatiently :)

Don’t even mind the price. I hate that I have to take the time to fill out a phony application. As if the 300 something dollars isn’t already enough

Great video Chris! Keep it up!

Thanks for the review! I have an enlongated Ronbus Pulsar R1 (5.5" handle) and the swing weight is shown on their site as 114, which would make it the lowest swing weight of the elongated paddles, assuming that info is accurate. Did you measure the Ronbus swing weight to be higher? If it is in fact 114, it seems for $150 after code, that's a much better deal than this Selkirk.

Thanks for your honest review and a chance in your giveaway.

Thank you for the review.

Great vid! Also those singles clips were nasty!!

Great video. Definitely want one but can't get myself to spend that type of money

Just get Legacy Pro for $140 or sixzero DBD for $180. Both exceptional paddles. The warranties aren’t as good but you can buy 2 of them for the price of the Labs

Great video buddy! Any idea when you will be reviewing the Onix Malice Chris?

I almost spit out my food when you mentioned the mushroom shape.

awesome stuff - thanks!

Did you do a review on the 005? If so i missed it, and would like to see it!

Off subject, Gruven is coming out with a thermoformed paddle called the muvn. Can you get your hands on one for testing?

It will be interesting to see which paddle in the future that will knock off the 6.0 DBD as your go to paddle.

I love this shape

Do you think Selkirk will do anything more with the Mach 6? It’s my current paddle and I like the reach/handle length plus the swing weight, and didn’t know if it will be part of future Labs projects, or any other updates

Another great video 😊thanks

Thanks. Currently using the 003, so not sure if the 005 would be a good option for me. Looking forward to that review.

Pro move just get like an original run legacy pro and play with that for 2 months. Your control will such but you go back to a paddle like the double black diamond and even the 14mm feels easy to reset with

Id argue the Ronbus Pulsars are the softest thermos out there and half the price of a 006. The Feedback gift card lessens the blow of the 006 cost but are they offering it on these

Hey Chris, I think your reviews and information are great. I don't understand why you said the 006 is ugly. It's the same proportions as the Hyperion, which you never criticized. Also, just curious, I have both paddles, which do you think is better and why? Thanks, Steve

My 005 should arrive tomorrow

When you finish watching but remember the cost 😂. Big Selkirk fan but still can’t get over the price tag 🤷‍♂️. As always well done

Have you ever played with the Gamma Obsidian paddles?

Crbn 2 16mm is working fine for me.

So why not switch to the joola Perseus 16mm? What the difference between the two?

Is it safe to say that, for someone who uses the Hyperion, this is a similar "style" paddle. I'm almost gathering that it is a next generation Hyperion.

great vid as usual, when is the 005 review coming out???

Hey folks, can answer this please. Is the digital gift card you get when you order this, specifically a card to use with Selkirk via their website going forward, or is it with another online pickleball store? Why I ask is, I'm in Canada. Selkirk ships to here. But many other US stores do not.

Nice video as always...$333 is bit expensive for my pockets.

I want one. Can't control my soft game with the Legacy.

Daaaamn that rpm

Dayum that spin tho

You mentioned a few times that there are similar paddles to the 006. Which would you recommend as a cheaper alternative to the 006?

Any reviews on the CRBN 3x??

Love the review, hate the price!

Ill stick with my collection legacy,Sixzero,and R3 pulsar,

The paddle isn’t “Made” in the USA. Selkirk specifically said it’s assembled in USA. Which could range from them placing a grip on a otherwise finished paddle to them ordering pieces from over seas and having it put together here. But Made in USA is just a marketing ploy.

The Selkirk Labs Project 006 paddle review really highlights the importance of balance in pickleball equipment. It's not just about power or control, but finding the right mix of both. The review also emphasizes the value of personal preference and playstyle in choosing the right paddle. It's a reminder that in pickleball, as in life, one size doesn't fit all. Let's explore more about this fascinating sport together!

So sick of Labs. It’s just a stupid money grab, they’re making paddles that should just be for the mass market. It’s what inevitably pushed me away from using Selkirk

Did you personally add lead tape to the paddle at all?

Would you recommend a Collin johns scorpius, or the Selkirk 006?

how does the feel compared to the original hyperion? I have the 003 and that is the one thing I don’t love about it - just not as plush.

Well, you talked me out of buying the 006 - I HATE oval and square grips. Since you don't have a code for ProDrive, I guess I'll use my 003 till the new Six Zero drops _ or Ripple

Trying to make my decision on what paddle to go with and having a VERY hard time....I've watched ALL of you're videos and I'd love some advice. Project 006 OR the 003 Invikta/Epic, and why?? Thanks in advance @pickleballstudio

You said the 006 is one of your top 5 paddles. Currently, what are your other 4?

Why does it take them a week just to start to ship it? I ordered it Friday 6/23/23, still no tracking #

Where should I try lead tape on this paddle?

I tuned out $333.

Do you have a review on the Project 005?

would be a dream paddle in the epic shape and with an octagonal handle

Have you tested the Ronbus Nova yet?

Anyone else not able to add the 006 to their cart? Yes I am a labs member

someone should tell the people at Sellkirk they’re out of their minds for $333. I showed the picture of this paddle to about 20 people last night 10 of them at least were Sellkirk users and they said they would never pay that much money for a paddle, these are all hard-core Pickleball players

Sharp haircut my man

This paddle is for me….🙏🙏

Do we get a $77 gift card after leaving feedback, plus an additional $40 for the purchase?

Great review as always Chris! I love the paddle, hate the price at more than double the price for other thermoformed paddles. Will Selkirk be coming out with other shapes for the 006? Also, what happened to the 004? Seems MIA at the moment.

does 006 offer $77 giftcard for r&d?

What’s up guys

Maybe doin some shrooms may change your mind on the shape😂😂😂🍄

Crushed it, I miss pickleball

Damm your Chris you sold me 😢 hahahahaha

005 review coming soon?

Dang, Chris looks like he's been lifting!

Thank you for your time and posting. Still not worth $333, even w/ your discount. It's the cost per performance that kills it. Oh... And you second paddle was defective, not good. All companies say, "we are going to fix this". Then six months later... Thank you again. To bad. I am on your email list, but I don't do Instagram and won't sign up. It's not a giveaway if you have to do something for it.

Are you going to ever review onix s new paddles?

Just get 3 vatic prism flashes

So, for your $333 you might get a 2,200 or 1,700 RPM paddle.

Dropping an 005 video?

Product description image says "Assembled in the USA" but the description itself says "Made in the USA"...odd

i placed order for his paddle i do not see gift card of $40 but they are giving discount of 1 cent only ; please clarify why is this ? i am happy to send you snap shot of order

Tour?? Did he mean Torray?? No Torray, no $300!! 👿

No hole in the racquet Like the Invicta? I am out

30 sec mark. Made in the usa???

Reminds me of the smoothed out version of SpongeBob

The price is unacceptable. Even if it was 50 percent better than any other paddle

Why not review the 005 along with this? It’s odd that everyone is hyping up the 006 and staying quiet about the 005. Doesn’t this just seem like a Halo with some grit to it?

Can I just borrow yours for a little?
