What's actually different
Generated from the brands' published specs. Nothing here comes from lab testing; see how we read specs.
Core thickness
The LABS Project 007 Invikta 10mm has the thinner core: 10mm against 14mm. Thinner cores generally hit harder with a firmer feel; thicker cores absorb more pace, which helps dinks and resets.
Shape
The LABS Project 007 Invikta 10mm is a hybrid shape (16.4" × 7.5"); the LABS Project 007 Epic 14mm is a standard shape (15.9" × 7.85"). Longer, narrower shapes add reach and leverage; wider faces give a bigger sweet spot.
Weight
The LABS Project 007 Epic 14mm is 0.25 oz heavier: 8.15 oz against 7.9 oz. Static weight alone doesn't tell you how a paddle swings; swingweight does, when the brand publishes it.
Twistweight
The LABS Project 007 Epic 14mm has the higher twistweight: 6.53 against 5.51. Higher twistweight resists twisting on off-center hits, so the LABS Project 007 Epic 14mm should be the more forgiving of the two when you miss the middle.
Handle
The LABS Project 007 Invikta 10mm has the longer handle: 5.5" against 5.25", which leaves more room for a two-handed backhand.
What's the same, or can't be compared
- Swingweight: Swingweights are close: 107.1 for the LABS Project 007 Invikta 10mm and 106.9 for the LABS Project 007 Epic 14mm.
- Face and core: Same face (florek carbon fiber face with InfiniGrit surface) and core (polypropylene honeycomb with titanium mesh layer system).
- Price: Same price right now: $130 at JustPaddles (checked Oct 20).
- Warranty: Selkirk LABS 2-Year Warranty on both.
