The OMNI's specs point to above-average power for an all-court paddle: a foam ReactCore (PureFoam with an EVA power ring), an elongated 16.5 in face and a 7.9–8.2 oz weight. Selkirk says the core gives power when you want it and control when you need it.
A 16 mm core and a multi-layer T700 carbon face support a controlled soft game. Verified buyers on Selkirk.com (4.8/5 from 477 reviews, Sept 2026) most often describe an excellent balance of power and control, and many say it works for both soft and aggressive play.
The elongated shape and Selkirk's InfiniGrit surface are the spin story. Selkirk says InfiniGrit is engineered to stay within USA Pickleball's surface-roughness limits while lasting about three times longer than traditional raw carbon texture.
Selkirk's adjustable MOI perimeter weights are designed to enlarge and stabilize the sweet spot, and it publishes a twist weight of about 6.9 for the elongated version. Verified buyers often call the sweet spot large and forgiving. The narrower 7.45 in face is the trade-off against the widebody version (8 in).
Selkirk publishes a swing weight of 118 (±2) for the elongated OMNI and 112 for the widebody, so the widebody will feel quicker in hand battles. The removable MOI weights let you shift mass to fine-tune the balance.
Perimeter weighting is aimed squarely at stability on off-center hits. Selkirk says the weights are designed to hold steady and not shift during play.
Selkirk backs the OMNI with a limited lifetime warranty (U.S.). The most common complaints from verified buyers on Selkirk.com are edge-guard durability and the grip getting slippery with sweat.
Selkirk describes a plush feel on control shots from the foam core, with dwell to grab the ball for spin. Verified buyers frequently mention a responsive feel.
Comparable paddles worth a look if this one isn't quite right.

From its published specifications using our standard rating scale, which applies the same points for core thickness, weight, shape, width, face material, surface texture and construction to every paddle.
