  "summary": "Selkirk's late-2024 Labs release bet on durability (InfiniGrit) and thinness (10mm) rather than raw power, with a titanium mesh for stiffness. Pickleball Studio found it balanced and fast through the air; the paddle was later discounted heavily. It set up the InfiniGrit surface that Selkirk pushed across its 2025 line.",
  "construction": "Polypropylene honeycomb core with a patent-pending titanium mesh layer between core and face sheets, Florek carbon fiber face with InfiniGrit surface (claimed 3x the durability of raw carbon), edgeless with an updated 'wing' aero throat; the 10mm is Selkirk's thinnest edgeless paddle.",
