OMNI: notes from the specs
👍 Pros
- A 16mm+ core option. Thicker cores are generally described as softer and more control-friendly.

- Wider or hybrid face options give a larger hitting area side to side.
- Heavier spec (up to 8.2 oz) adds mass behind the ball.
👎 Cons
- Elongated faces are narrower, so off-center hits on the sides are less forgiving.
- The heavier end of the range can feel slower in fast hand battles.
- Premium list price ($300.00).
