Selkirk Boomstik Widebody vs Selkirk Omni Widebody w/MOI

The Selkirk Boomstik Widebody and the Selkirk Omni Widebody w/MOI are both 16 mm widebody paddles, so this one comes down to the measured numbers. Across the 6 specs with a clearly better direction they split 3–3. The Boomstik Widebody swings lighter (113.0 vs 116.0) — quicker hands at the net, where the Omni Widebody w/MOI plows through the ball instead. That is a preference, not a win. The Omni Widebody w/MOI is $33.00 cheaper at $300.00.

Two paddles from the same brand, so the differences are the ones the maker chose. Every number below is lab-measured, not a manufacturer claim.

Static weight 8.3 oz vs 8.3 oz — a few grams of tape moves swing weight far more than static weight, so either can be pushed toward the other.
