The Selkirk OMNI is built around one idea: a tool-free, repositionable weight system that lets one paddle flex between control and power depending on how you set it up. At RM1,220, it’s a premium buy — two of our own team members have been playing it for a month, so here’s what that money actually gets you, and who should look elsewhere instead.
Selkirk launched the OMNI across Asia in June 2026 as the newest addition to its all-court lineup, positioned as a successor to the popular Boomstik with one major upgrade: fully reversible weight tuning instead of a one-way removable system. It’s currently one of the paddles in our own Gear We Recommend storefront, sold through Selkirk’s verified official Shopee Malaysia store — genuine stock, not an OEM clone.
Quick Verdict
What Our Team Found After Playing It
This isn’t a secondhand roundup — two people on the PickleballSEA team have been playing the OMNI for about four weeks. One of our co-founders has been using the Elongated shape in the Cosmic1776 colorway; someone from our marketing team has been on the Widebody in Canyon Clay. Both had played Selkirk’s earlier Boomstik before this, and both independently called the OMNI a clear step up, not a marginal refresh.
The Cosmic1776 colorway in particular has turned heads at their regular social sessions — enough that several of their playing partners have asked for help buying one of their own. Unscientific as it is, that kind of organic ask from other players is its own real signal that the interest in this paddle isn’t just marketing.
What Actually Makes It Different: The Adjustable Weight System
The OMNI’s headline feature is its Adjustable MOI Tuning System — two 7.5g weights that snap on and off by hand with no tools, and can be repositioned anywhere around the paddle’s perimeter. That’s a real step up from the Boomstik it succeeds, where weights could be removed but never reapplied. In practice, this means the same paddle can be set up two different ways: weights on for more stability and swing weight on drives, or weights off for a lighter, quicker paddle that leans harder into the “control” side of all-court play.
Shape changes how much this matters. The Elongated shape relies more on the weights for stability — pull them off and twist weight drops enough to notice on off-center contact. The Widebody is more forgiving with the weights removed entirely, since the wider face already builds in more inherent stability. If you’re the type of player who wants to experiment with setup rather than leave a paddle exactly as it ships, this is the OMNI’s real selling point. If you’d rather buy a paddle and never think about it again, it’s one more thing to manage.

Where It Sits in Our Paddle Buying Framework
Using the same weight, face, and control/power logic from our own Paddle Guide: the OMNI sits solidly in the mid-weight band (7.9-8.2oz) that suits most intermediate-to-advanced players, with a carbon-fiber face (Selkirk calls it Multistrata T700 with an InfiniGrit texture) built for spin and control rather than raw power. Its 10/10 and 9/10 spin/control ratings put it toward the control end of Selkirk’s own lineup, despite the “all-court” label — the adjustable weights are really what push it toward power when you want that instead.
At RM1,220, it lands in the upper-premium band of paddles we carry — worth it once you’re playing consistently (2+ times a week) and know your game well enough to benefit from tuning a paddle to it. It’s a harder recommendation as a first serious paddle.
How It Compares to Other Paddles We Recommend
If the OMNI’s price or tuning complexity gives you pause, a few other paddles in our Gear We Recommend lineup solve similar problems differently:
- Franklin ALW (RM950) — similar carbon face, similar control-forward feel, three fixed thickness options instead of adjustable weights, at a lower price.
- JOOLA Ben Johns Perseus Pro V (RM1,159) — built more squarely for aggressive, fast-paced rally play if you already know you want power over tunability.
- Arronax Thunder 10 Gen 4 (RM669) — the most affordable carbon paddle we carry, for advanced players who want real power without the OMNI’s price tag.
Who Should Buy It
- Intermediate-to-advanced players who already have a developed touch game and want one paddle that flexes between control and power depending on setup.
- Players upgrading from a fixed-weight paddle (like the Boomstik) who want to actually experiment with weight placement, not just own the option.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
- Developing players (3.0 and below) who benefit more from a paddle that compensates for an inconsistent swing rather than one that needs tuning.
- Anyone who wants a paddle that feels identical on every shot — the OMNI’s whole design is built around feeling different on soft resets vs. full swings, which is a feature for some players and an adjustment for others.
Malaysia Pricing
The OMNI is widely listed around RM1,220 across Malaysian retailers, with occasional store-wide vouchers rather than fixed item discounts. We link to Selkirk’s own verified official Shopee Malaysia store in our Gear We Recommend section — genuine stock, not a third-party or OEM copy.
A note on how this review was put together: specs above are Selkirk’s own published figures, verified against the listing we link to. Hands-on impressions reflect four weeks of real play from two PickleballSEA team members — one on each shape — combined with the wider consensus among publicly available player reviews. Disclosure: PickleballSEA may earn a commission if you buy through the Gear We Recommend link on this page — this doesn’t change what we recommend.
