Selkirk Boomstik Widebody 16mm Pickleball Paddle Review
MATT'S VERDICT
The Boomstik Widebody is one of the most stable widebody power paddles I've played. The high twist weight and external MOI weighting give you a sweet spot that holds up on off-center contact better than almost anything else in this category.
