OM Aero1 Pickleball Racket Review

Inspired by you. Powered by British Design Engineering. PLAY OM.

OM Pickleball is a British Performance Pickleball Racket brand with the mission to move the pickleball world from pickleball paddles to pickleball rackets and create the world's best. The OM Aero1 Pickleball Racket is the first ever “racket” - pushing the sport of pickleball to the next generation (and pushing the venacular from “pickleball paddles” to “rackets”)! This racket is designed specifically for those transitioning from tennis to create angles and speed never before seen on the pickleball court. In this article, the experts at JustPaddles outline everything you need to know about the first of its kind.

OM Aero1 Review

“I think the racket frame provides flexibility in the face and core, which helps improve the dwell time on the racket. This increased dwell time gives me confidence in my play around the net and allows me to shape shots incredibly well. This pickleball racket is super quick at the kitchen and allows for natural speed ups at the net.”

What type of player should use the OM Racket?

We anticipate that players transitioning from tennis are going to be very comfortable with the OM Racket. A similar feel to the Wilson 45-string tension, a tennis player will likely feel right at home on the smaller court! The ability to speed up and create never-before-seen shots is unlike any product on the market! If you are a former tennis player, you’ve got to PLAY OM!

Paddle Expert’s Thoughts on the OM Racket:

You can truly feel the difference between the OM Racket and all paddles out right now -the performance and playability matches a classic tennis racket feel. From play at the net or from the backline, this racket was designed to dominate the pickleball court. The dwell time on this pickleball racket is unmatched as is OM’s quest to push the evolution of pickleball paddles to rackets.Listen to the founder of OM explain why he thinks his racket separates itself from the rest of the paddles out now!

Pros

Added dwell time for more feel and more shot making potential.
Single piece. There is no such thing as a flimsy racket and this continues to be the case with OM.
Speed ups at the net are automatically returned with pace. A simple block will have your opponent fearing their next speed up.
Comfort of racket. As someone with experience on the larger tennis court, this racket made us all feel at home.

Cons

None that we could agree on.
