Summary

The Selkirk Labs Project 006 Tour is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 8.4 oz with a 5.75" grip, it accommodates two-handed backhands. The swing weight is high (118), potentially generating more power but requiring more effort to swing. The spin rating (7.8 out of 10) and spin percentile (77th) suggest above-average spin potential. While the drive speed rating is relatively high (6.0 out of 10), the power percentile is lower (31st). The volley speed rating (4.3 out of 10) and pop percentile (13th) indicate this paddle may not be ideal for players prioritizing quick volleys. The twist weight is average (4.0 out of 10, 30th percentile). This paddle might suit intermediate to advanced players seeking a balance of control and power with enhanced spin capability, but who may not prioritize volley speed.
