The Selkirk Omni is one of the biggest paddle launches since the Boomstik last summer, and after getting some early court time with it … we have a LOT of thoughts.

In this review we cover:

  • The brand new adjustable MOI weight system.
  • How the Omni compares to the Selkirk Boomstik.
  • The new Double Ring Core design.
  • Power, pop, feel and forgiveness.
  • Why Selkirk shifted toward a more all-court approach.
  • Potential concerns with the new weight system.

The Omni introduces removable/repositionable weights that let you customize swing weight, stability and power in seconds without tungsten tape or tools. Combined with Selkirk’s Infinigrit Surface and new core construction, this feels like a very different direction from the Boomstik, and honestly one that we think will fit most players better.

Our testing process

Team Kitchen is our team of expert paddle reviewers, all 5.0+ players. They test every paddle with other high-level players in their area, on every kind of shot, in drills and real games, to see how it performs in real-world play.

Every paddle is also measured on the same scale: power, spin, swing weight and twist weight, so any two paddles compare fairly.

We use the Life Time LT Pro 48 pickleball for our testing.
