Selkirk Omni Review: Adjustable MOI Weights Make All the Difference

If you're coming from a Boomstik, Omni will feel toned-down in the power department. If you're new to the Selkirk lineup, buckle up – there's still plenty of power here.

Selkirk changed the pickleball paddle landscape forever with the launch of the Boomstik in August 2025. Its full-foam core and innovative integrated MOI Tuning System translated into a paddle that hit like a freight train while still boasting a massive sweet spot.

It was an instant hit, spreading like wildfire across rec courts the world over. And its popularity has endured: Go play in any facility across the U.S. and you're guaranteed to see (and hear) at least a few.

It's a marvel of paddle innovation and engineering, without a doubt. But for all its obvious upsides, there is one undeniable drawback: For some, it's just too much of a good thing.

Introducing the Omni

Today Selkirk launched the next iteration in its modern paddle lineup: the Omni.

The OMNI retails for $300 and becomes Selkirk's marquee all-court offering, joining the brand's main line alongside the LUXX (control) and Boomstik (power). 

Here's what sets Omni apart in an increasingly crowded paddle market:

• ReactCore™ (Double-Ring Technology): At its heart is a PureFoam™ floating center, surrounded by a new PureFoam Ring and an EVA Power Ring. This double-ring system offers adaptive flexibility, stiffening for power on drives and softening for plush feel on resets.
• Adjustable MOI Tuning System: Building on the tech from Project Boomstik, this next-gen system comes pre-optimized for the maximum sweet spot, but allows players to remove and reapply perimeter weights to customize balance and swing weight. 
• InfiniGrit™ Surface: This surface offers 3x the durability of traditional raw carbon, maintaining a massive 2,000 RPM potential over the long haul.

Says Selkirk:

My First Impressions

The major innovation here is adjustable MOI weights.

Unlike the Boomstik, where they're fixed in place, Omni's easily pop on and off, allowing you to move them down for max control, all the way up for max power, or keep them centered for a balance of the two.

I tried them at each position and actually favored placement lower down toward the throat to counteract the paddle's noticeable pop.

After a few sessions with the Omni on court, here are my initial impressions:

• It still sounds like a Boomstik! That deep, deafening thud, even on the softest of dinks, is just so darn satisfying
• Adjusting the MOI weights is simple: pop it off from a corner and snap it back on where you want it – there are even little notch marks on the paddle face to guide you to the right spot
• The color scheme is a refreshing departure from Selkirk's signature black, red, and white
• I think it's fair to call this an all-court paddle when compared to the Boomstik, but the Omni is still a very lively paddle – lots of pop off the face and power on full swings when you need it
• It's still a head-turner – between the MOI weights, the new colors while retaining the brand's signature, massive "S" logo, and the unmistakable thonk of the ball on contact, you'll get looks and questions for sure

If you're coming from a Boomstik, Omni will feel toned-down in the power department while still retaining plenty of pop and the expansive sweet-spot Selkirk has become known for.

If you're new to the Selkirk lineup, Omni might still feel like a lot at first. Learn to control it, though, and it could be just the paddle you're looking for.
