Selkirk Lab Project 007 Unboxing

Hey, what's up, guys? Today I'm going to be unboxing my brand new 007 that just came in the mail! I've already unboxed it, but I'm going to take the box they gave us, open it up for you, and you can see what's inside. I just wanted to save some time on this video. They come up with this really cool hard case. You can see they've artistically designed a little 007 logo—it actually looks like an upside-down L, a kind of artistic "7." They send this incredible hard case with it, so that's the first time I've gotten a paddle that actually has a tough case. I think I might be fine going to the court and showing up with this briefcase-like, you know, "007." Let's open up this tough case and see what all they give us. Alright, first off, they've included a little blurb here that tells us about all the different materials. I'll be doing a full review on this paddle. I know you've seen some reviews out there, but I'll go through everything and talk about it all in my review. Let's see what they've provided here. So, here’s a QR code to scan—this is how you get your $33 in Lab Store credit by filling it out. If you use our affiliate code, "INF-Pirates," you'll get a gift card to the Selkirk store. This is in addition to the Lab Store credit you receive with this purchase when you register the paddle. Looks like they gave us some edge guard tape, which is nice because these edgeless paddles get scuffed up, so it's good to have some edge guard tape. They also included some tungsten Selkirk tape. I really appreciate that they've started doing this for edgeless paddles, and this is the thin type. You can see here there are four strips of thin tungsten tape, so it won’t go over the edge too much. These are 0.1-ounce strips, totaling 3 grams. And, of course, a bit of feedback—Selkirk wants us to provide some feedback about this product. They’ve got the egg-carton stuff inside, which tells me this paddle has been inspected and weighs 8.1 ounces. Some stickers are included, which you could put on the case (though I probably wouldn’t put them on the paddle). These stickers are nice, soft, rubbery material—definitely a nice little sticker set. Then, the certificate of authenticity tells you this is an official Labs 007 paddle from Project 007. It even looks like 3K carbon fiber, which has a unique look when you move it side to side; it gives the paddle some depth. They went all out with this case. I don’t know if I’d ever use it, but it’s definitely unique—the first of its kind from any paddle company. And here’s the paddle itself. It looks really nice, and you can tell it's a bit head-heavy. It’s got a lot of pop, and I'm really excited to try it with the titanium inside and the grid technology they've included. One thing they mention is to clean it regularly to prolong the paddle’s life. Let’s get it out to the courts and see how it plays. Stay tuned!
