The LABS 008 pickleball paddle attacks the concept of paddle durability and responsiveness from its core, delivering a new evolution that will change the future of pickleball paddles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDampens vibration.

So we weren’t satisfied with pickleball’s status quo of polypropylene-core paddles. Over time, these polypropylene cores can get crushed and deformed—especially with other brands that use “thermoformed” or “Gen3” processes without quality controls—affecting the paddle’s responsiveness and making even the most routine shots unpredictable. What does that mean? You have to replace your paddle more often.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe solution: a completely new PureFoam core technology, made from high-density foam that resists crushing and deformation – increasing durability while reducing how often you need to replace your paddle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAside from durability improvements, the PureFoam core also enhances the paddle’s performance through an enlarged sweet spot and a less stiff feel than that of polypropylene cores. High-density foam dampens vibration and gives the paddle more responsiveness – flexing to increase the dwell time while creating spin and ensuring consistency throughout the paddle face. The high-density property of the PureFoam core creates explosive power with effortless pop – it’s rare for a 10mm paddle to have this much power paired with a forgiving sweet spot and controlled feel. Project 008 sets a new standard for 10mm power paddles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt’s the future of paddle cores, and LABS members get it first with Project 008.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 10mm thickness serves the aggressive player with explosive power.
