The extra-large surface area improves the overall power and control of the paddle, giving every shot more consistency.

If you are a hardcore Pickleball player that doesn’t mind a slightly shorter handle, the S2 is your paddle.

Developed with the help of SelkirkPro and US Open Champion Glen Peterson, the Omni paddle has an elongated shape with a short handle. The shorter handle allows the Omni to have a bigger surface area, and thus a larger sweet spot than traditional elongated paddles that are skinnier. Many players who want an elongated paddle with better control will use the Omni in doubles play. Table tennis players and people who play with their finger on the paddle also often gravitate towards the Omni because of its shorter handle that doesn’t get in the way. If you need the reach of an elongated paddle without sacrificing consistency and a nice sweet spot, the Omni shape is ideal for you.

Babolat launched the Pure Drive in 1994 and quickly established the benchmark for power. With every subsequent model, we’ve innovated and evolved to meet the demands of the game. It’s no wonder the Pure Drive is one of the most popular and versatile racquets in the world. The 10th generation of the Pure Drive offers point-ending explosive power with increased feel.

POWER

You want power, stop looking around. Whatever your skill level is, power is what made this racquet iconic. Not only it is used widely on Tour, but this is also one of the bestselling racquets of all time because of its versatility to bring power in the palm of the hand of any player.

EXPLOSIVITY

You wish you had an extra pop when things get though, here comes explosivity. When the intensity is high, you can rely on your racquet to do exactly what you are longing for: produce a killing shot, even on off centered hit. A new lay-up has been developed to do exactly that, put a smile on your face... and a grin on your opponent's one.

FEEL

You need feel, now feel the difference. Yes, feel is important even in a powerful frame. We all understand that if you can not control your shot, power is meaningless. Get ready for a new experience you will not only feel but also hear through this unique sound at ball impact.
