RFP's take — our interpretation of the measured data
Who should actually swing it?
Selkirk Labs positions the Project 005 Epic as a balanced, do-everything all-courter. The measured numbers back that up: the low swing weight keeps your hands fast at the net, with a forgiving sweet spot.
✅ Great for: all-court players who want one paddle that does a bit of everything.
⛔ Look elsewhere if: you want an extreme specialist — a pure power-bomber or a dedicated spin tool.
