Verdicts
Selkirk OMNI 16
Selkirk's answer to the foam era, and the most balanced paddle they have built. The OMNI refuses to specialize: power and control both sit in the top decile, which is rare and expensive.
Vatic Pro Prism Flash V2 16
Still the value benchmark. V2 tightens quality control and lifts spin to 88 — nothing under $130 matches this combination of reach, grip and balance.
