Selkirk Labs Project Boomstik ST Widebody 16mm Power Pickleball Paddle
Explosive power meets a more refined feel with the Selkirk Labs Project Boomstik ST Widebody 16mm Pickleball Paddle. The familiar 16mm BoomCore combines PureFoam and an EVA Power Ring to deliver the lively response we love on drives, counters, and put-away volleys. New Sharktooth Groove Technology adds perimeter flex for increased dwell time and better shot consistency, giving us a little more confidence when taking pace off the ball. The 15.95in x 8in widebody shape adds forgiveness on off-center hits, while the 5.6in extended handle gives us room for two-handed backhands. This makes it a great fit for aggressive doubles players who want big power without sacrificing consistency in fast exchanges.
The upgraded InfiniGrit Ultra surface delivers 4x more friction for spin and 50x the texture additive of the original InfiniGrit, helping us keep aggressive topspin drives and roll volleys inside the lines. We also get the new Adjustable MOI Tuning System, which expands the sweet spot and lets us customize perimeter weighting by hand to fine-tune balance and stability. Together, these upgrades make the ST more adaptable without losing the explosive personality that made the original Boomstik stand out.
+ Key Features
- InfiniGrit Ultra Surface - USAP-approved grit with 4x more friction for spin and 50x the texture additive of original InfiniGrit, helping us maintain bite on topspin drives, rolls, and dipping passing shots.
- Sharktooth Groove Technology - A new perimeter flex-groove allows additional ball dwell and improved shot consistency, helping us take pace off a hard drive or guide a reset into the kitchen.
- Adjustable MOI Tuning System - Hand-adjustable perimeter weighting expands the sweet spot and lets us customize balance and stability, helping the paddle feel more forgiving on off-center contact.
- 16mm BoomCore with EVA Power Ring - PureFoam surrounded by an EVA perimeter ring creates a lively, solid response for deep drives, forceful counters, and put-away volleys.
- Multistrata T700 Carbon Face - Three layers of T700 carbon provide a responsive hitting structure beneath the textured surface, supporting consistent energy transfer during aggressive play.

+ Widebody 16mm | Forgiveness and Fast-Hand Confidence
The ST Widebody is the more forgiving shape in the Boomstik family. Its 8in face gives us extra room to work with when blocking hard drives, defending body attacks, and exchanging counters at the kitchen. That broader hitting area, combined with adjustable perimeter weighting, makes it particularly attractive for doubles players who want aggressive pop without demanding perfectly centered contact.
+ Elongated 16mm | Extended Reach and Attacking Leverage
The
ST Elongated stretches to 16.5in, providing additional reach for overheads, volleys, and baseline attacks. Its narrower profile favors players who use leverage and longer swings to generate pace. Choose this shape when reach and offensive coverage matter more than the extra hitting width of the Widebody.
Expert Review
"The BoomCore still delivers that explosive pop we love, but Sharktooth Groove Technology gives us a little more connection with the ball. We can attack confidently and still soften our hands when we need to reset."

Frequently Asked Questions
+ Q: What is different about the Boomstik ST Widebody compared to the original Boomstik?
A: The ST adds InfiniGrit Ultra with 4x more friction for spin and 50x the texture additive of the original InfiniGrit, Sharktooth Groove Technology for additional dwell and shot consistency, and an adjustable MOI system that expands the sweet spot. It retains the original 16mm BoomCore construction.
+ Q: Does the Sharktooth Groove Technology make the Boomstik ST a control paddle?
A: No. This is still a power-focused paddle. The flex-groove is designed to provide additional dwell and better shot consistency, helping us manage softer shots without giving up the lively response we want on drives and counters.
+ Q: How does the Adjustable MOI Tuning System work?
A: The system creates a larger sweet spot and allows players to adjust perimeter weighting by hand, changing how the paddle balances and resists twisting during contact. We can personalize stability and feel rather than relying on one fixed factory setup.
+ Q: Should I choose the Boomstik ST Widebody or Elongated?
A: Choose the Widebody if you prioritize a larger hitting area, off-center forgiveness, and confidence in fast doubles exchanges. Choose the
Elongated if you want additional reach and leverage for overheads, drives, and attacking volleys.
+ Q: Is the Boomstik ST Widebody good for intermediate players?
A: Yes, particularly intermediate players developing a more aggressive game. The widebody shape offers forgiveness, although the lively BoomCore response still requires good touch and paddle-face control on drops and dinks.
