Onix Graphite MOD Z5 Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle with Wide-Body Shape, Honeycomb Core, Graphite Face & Cushion Comfort Pickleball Paddle Grip

Having had the chance to play several games with the Onyx pickleball paddle, here's my comprehensive feedback: Construction & Durability: One of the first things you notice about the Onyx paddle is its robust build. The craftsmanship is of high quality, and it seems designed to withstand regular play, ensuring longevity. Weight: Onyx paddles usually come in a range of weights, catering to different player preferences. Whether you prefer a lightweight for quicker maneuvers or a slightly heavier one for power shots, Onyx likely has a variant to suit your style. Grip: The grip is both comfortable and effective, providing a reliable hold. This minimizes the chances of the paddle slipping during those intense moments, a critical feature for maintaining consistency in your game. Surface: The texture of the paddle surface aids in providing additional spin on the ball, making it easier to catch opponents off-guard. The surface also offers a good balance between power and control, making it versatile for both aggressive and strategic players. Sound: The paddle has a solid, yet not overpowering sound upon ball contact, which is satisfying and gives a good feedback on the quality of your strike. Aesthetics: Onyx paddles are not only functional but also have a sleek design, ensuring you play in style.

I got good power from this paddle. And it makes a loud crack when you get a solid hit. Which kids intimidates your appointment .

The rating is more like 4.5/ 5. I have been using this paddle for about 3 months now (4-5 times a week) and it has held up pretty well. It is well constructed. This paddle suits my game as it has the right balance of power, spin and control. It has a large sweet spot and the shots have been consistent. While, I would have liked more control in the doubles game, the slight extra power in lieu of control helps while playing singles. I hope this paddle lasts long enough. Overall, this is a great all-round paddle for newbies, intermediate players and possibly even the more advanced players.

As a more than beginner player, I felt that my game was being limited by the inexpensive beginner paddle that I learned and was playing with. I decided it was time for an upgrade to a more serious paddle to improve my game. I did a ton of research of the now seemingly thousands of paddles available these days. Through all of my research , the Onix Z5 paddle seemed to consistently be one of the top rated paddles on the market at that price point. So I decided to buy it and wowsa! Did it make a difference in my game! After a short learning curve getting used to the new paddle, I found out a lot of what I’d been missing; control, spin; top and back-spin, accuracy , and serving improved by leaps and bounds and after a month or so of play I’ve gone from the one nobody was psyched to play with to the one that people want to play with. The paddle is mid weight, thin, but feels light. The only issue I had was that the grip was a bit small for my hand so I bought some over-wrap tape and double overlapped the grip to build it up a bit. Man what a difference! I can see myself playing with this paddle for quite some time until I take the next step up in my game. For now the Onix Z5 is definitely the paddle of choice for me!

I was very pleased with the quality and price of this paddle. I bought it for my husband who just recently started playing. I have the same paddle and it has lasted me over 10 years.

Have used for 3 years. Has a great grip and has been very durable c

Awesome paddle graphite light. Short handle grip

This was my second paddle and first one bought new. It has a large sweet spot and decent control but lacked the power and spin I wanted when I crossed the 3.5 level. The paddle is well made and I still have it to loan out for friends or relatives who are just starting out. The things I dislike the most about it is the sound of the ball is much louder to my ear than other paddles and there is a general lack of feel to my shots when using it. I recommend it for beginners and low intermediate players but more advanced players will probably be disappointed.

Great product.

Je le suis dirigé vers cette raquette, car elle est ressortait souvent dans les meilleurs pagaies de sa catégorie. D'abord la finissions est vraiment très tres médiocre au niveau du manche. Pour le jeu, elle est, pour moi, beaucoup trop sèche et manque de touchée. Je débute en pickleball, mais j apprécie les sensation plus "mouelleuse", et privilégie le touché à la puissance. Cette pagaie n est pas faite pour moi.

Delivery was in 3 days- amazing. Bought 2 to have a matching set with my spouse. We both enjoy the larger sweet spot which gives a very satisfying sound. Control for spins is better than our previous paddles and helps our game. Good paddle that our friends liked when they tried it too.

Bought this based on a bit of research. Im new to pickleball so i had a limited knowledge and experience of was actually looking for! So far it’s been good though and as I've got more used to it I’ve been very happy with my purchase as a new player. No complaints so far and i’d recommend to others searching for their first paddle. If yiu want mire expert reviews im sure you'll find them out there

Muy buena pala
