SLK OMEGA Hybrid Air - Max

I have been playing with the Max, and the longer grip, for several weeks and I would say that compared to some of the previous paddles I have owned, I am getting about 20% more control and 20% less power, which is nice! The Max seems like a great paddle for the price!

What an amazing paddle. I did not need an adjustment period. Straight out the box I began playing games with it and my games have improved. I am getting power shots and more accurate placement. The best part is it is lightweight and easy to manage. I am happy with this paddle.

I want to add I started playing 6 months ago so this is great for intermediate players.

It’s a great paddle my serve got better and more accurate and I was able to reach shots I usually would miss. I’m not a 2 handed player so the longer handle was hard for me to get adjusted to. My reaction time was slower when I was at the kitchen because of the longer handle. After swapping it in and out with my old paddle for 3 weeks i decided to send it back and exchange it for the Max with the shorter handle.

It’s a great paddle it is a matter of preference when it comes to the handle grip.

Pickleball Paddle Shape Guide

Max

XL

Max

Versatile and balanced

Ideal for beginners to seasoned pros, and tennis players transitioning to pickleball. Some players prefer this shape, while others who don’t have a preference opt for it as a way to continue learning their preferences. The SLK Max shape is most similar to the Selkirk Epic shape.

XL

Extend your reach and create more power

Ideal for intermediate to pro players who have an aggressive play style, like more room for a two-handed grip, and want more reach. The SLK XL shape is most similar to the Selkirk Invikta shape.
