Great paddle for the price: All around great paddle for the price. (I got mine even cheaper from the used section) It is pretty lightweight. My previous paddle was heavier and I've noticed a significant improvement on my reflexes with this one. It has great pop for put-aways, but still has enough control to place shots perfectly. Really good touch for dinks, too. Is this a Vanguard Power Air? (or $200+ Joola/CRBN/Gearbox/etc) No. Can you still be really good/a 4.0+ with this paddle? Yes. I stil

Selkirk Omega Max: My second Selkirk Omega Max, best paddle I have ever used. Edgeless, thin, light weight with terrific pop and control. I use white edge tape to protect the paddle from court scrapes. I play daily and alternate using my fantastic pair of Selkirk Omega Max paddles.

SLK Omega Max: Paddle plays nothing like the power air series. The ball is much slower to come off the paddle and the paddle feels soft. Has a good sweet spot but very small and at the edge of the paddle the ball completely dies without the edge guard. This is supposed to be made very similar to the power air but there are few similarities as to the way it plays. ***PBC Response*** Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! We know that not every paddle will be right for every player which is

Faster, Stronger, Harder - woohoo!: I received my new Omega Max paddle about a week ago and am LOVING IT! The paddle felt a bit light at first but, that has translated into faster at the net. The paddle feels real consistent and I feel like it's improved my soft game over the 16mm core carbon paddle I was using previously. Boy does this paddle have some pop too! Even shots made outside of the sweet spot are flying off the face. Another plus - I have big hands and this is the first paddle I haven

SLK Omega: Bought after reading several reviews touting this as a great value. Unfortunately, for me, it has too much pop for quality net play. Also, the shortened length became evident on quick net exchanges.

SLK Omega Max - MAX Value: ^ Bad joke - sorry. But it's true. If this paddle fits the specs your looking for it's the best value out there. The Omega Max is my new daily driver. It delivers the right mix of touch & power for a good soft game while still giving great access to power. It's similar to the Power Air but with a little more control and less power. The Power Air is super fun to hit with but carried too much vibrations to my elbow. This paddle is a little softer and has less vibra

I'm a picky paddle player : I go through lots of paddles trying to find one that has a pop of power (without being TOO poppy for dinks)! And that has good control. This paddle has that. My husband has this paddle too and he says he's finally found "the one". He loves the rimless feature. AMAZING price point, give it a try. I'm a big fan.
