%If you play an aggressive style and want to put heavy pressure on your opponents, the Selkirk LABS Project 008 Invikta Elongated is worth a serious look. The thinner core and elongated shape give you noticeable pop and reach for finishing points, while the textured surface helps you put decent spin on the ball. Because it leans heavily toward power, you will need good mechanics to dial in your drops and dinks. It is a solid match for intermediate players who want to dictate pace from the back of the court.
