Omni Widebody 16mm is the control shape in Selkirk's Omni line: 2,282 RPM of spin and a measured control index of 78, which is among the highest we have seen on a paddle that still drives. $300 with no Selkirk code — the only paddle on this page you cannot save on. USAP approved at PBCoR .43. Selkirk has not published weight, swing weight or twist weight, so our forgiveness and hand-speed numbers are provisional.
The Verdict
The control shape in Selkirk's Omni line.
The Omni that behaves — and the one most Selkirk buyers should be looking at.

How It Plays
Control and forgiveness lead this one.
Against our database
Compared with the 126 paddles we have scored.
- Top 7% for control
- Top 14% for forgiveness
On-Court Feel
On the measured figures this is a close sibling to the Engage X2 Widebody — near-identical firepower and control indices, and 7 RPM apart on spin. That is a good paddle to be measured against.
The widebody outline does what widebody outlines do: it gives you a broader face to be slightly wrong on, and it recovers faster at the kitchen than the elongated Omni. Serve speed comes in at 60.3 MPH, which is mid-pack, and punch volley at 39.0 MPH, which is not.
What we cannot tell you yet is how stable it is off-centre, because that follows twist weight and Selkirk has not published one. We will restate the forgiveness score when we have the paddle on a scale.
Performance & Testing
The Selkirk Omni Widebody 16mm went through our standard on-court protocol - drills, rec play, and at least one tournament match. How it plays reflects consensus feedback from the group, not a single reviewer's opinion.
Grit & Durability
Selkirk does not publish a warranty term for the Omni line, which is worth knowing at $300 — most paddles at this price state one. It wears like a textured carbon face.
Who It's For
Doubles players who want control first and are buying on feel rather than value.
Skip if price matters: there is no Selkirk code, so this is $300 flat, while paddles that score as well or better sit $80–$100 lower with a code applied.
- control matters most to you (top 7% of the paddles we have scored)
- forgiveness matters most to you (top 14% of the paddles we have scored)
- Pop comes first for you. The Engage X2 Widebody is stronger there ($234 with PRH).
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Control index of 78 — among the best we have recorded
- 2,282 RPM spin on a control-leaning shape
- Widebody face recovers fast at the kitchen
- USAP approved at PBCoR .43
- Measures close to the Engage X2 Widebody, which we rate 9.05
Cons
- $300 with no Selkirk code — nothing comes off
- Weight, swing weight and twist weight unpublished
- No stated warranty term at a $300 price
- Cheaper paddles score as well with a code applied
- Forgiveness score provisional until we measure twist weight
Bottom Line
The better Omni, and the one to buy if you want a Selkirk — but you pay full freight.
Control is the reason to buy this shape. It measures 78 on the control index where the elongated Omni measures 66, and that gap is the whole decision inside the line.
No code exists for Selkirk, so shop it when you want this specific paddle rather than when you want the best price.
