Out of the box with the MOI unit at the 9 and 3 o’clock positions it feels like a Boomstik with a dampener. I found I could control the paddle more than the Boomstik with drives and returns finding the court as opposed to occasionally sailing out with the power of the Boomstik. However, when I went to put the ball away, I found plenty of support from the power of the paddle.

When I moved the MOI up the paddle face to the 10 and 2 o’clock position, I found it play a little poppier with a higher sweet spot. I lost a little of my placement as I gained the power. With the MOI tuning at the bottom of the paddle, it definitely played faster and helped my hand speed at the net.

For those who love the feel of the Boomstik but struggle to control it, the Omni is a nice alternative. It is slightly lighter than the Boomstik, 7.9 - 8.2 oz as opposed to 8.1 - 8.4 oz, leading to a little lower swing and twist weight. That takes off just enough for a player like me who can overhit at times.

Selkirk again proves that when they redefine a Labs paddle, they find ways to make it more accessible to a larger part of the market. Well done.
