RPM Jade vs Selkirk Omni and Boomstik (2026)
Last updated: September 2026
Selkirk's newest foam paddles against RPM's durable-grit Jade, at $70 to $104 more.
Buy the RPM Jade. Against the Selkirk Omni Widebody it is $70 cheaper ($229.49 with code PRH against $300), rates higher on spin (9.2 against 8.85), and RPM publishes its weight, swing weight and twist weight where Selkirk has not. Against the Project Boomstik, the Jade Elongated 16mm swings far lighter (112 against 118), rates higher on spin, and costs $104 less. The Boomstik is still the most powerful paddle we have tested, and the Omni Widebody rates higher on control, so buy those for exactly those reasons.

Widebody: Jade 16mm vs Selkirk Omni Widebody
The Omni Widebody is a good paddle and rates higher on control (9.1). But at $300 you are buying it without published weight, swing weight or twist weight, and without a stated warranty term. The Jade is $70 less, RPM tells you exactly what you are getting, and its face is built to keep its grit.
- RPM Jade Widebody 16mm: 7.8 oz · 107 swing weight · 6.9 twist weight · spin 9.2 · SICmatrix face · USAP · $229.49 with PRH.
- Selkirk Omni Widebody 16mm: weight, swing weight and twist weight not published · 2,282 RPM · textured carbon face (spec not published) · USAP · $300.
Elongated: Jade 16mm vs Selkirk Project Boomstik
The Boomstik is a specialist: the most power we have tested, a heavy 118 swing weight, and a soft game that demands focus. Its UPA-A approval also depends on running it without the MOI clamps. The Jade Elongated is the more complete paddle for most players: lighter in the hand, grippier, and $104 cheaper.
- RPM Jade Elongated 16mm: 7.8 oz · 112 swing weight · 6.2 twist weight · spin 9.2 · $229.49 with PRH.
- Selkirk Project Boomstik: 8.3 oz · 118 swing weight · 7.2 twist weight · 1,980–2,000 RPM · power 9.4 · $333.
