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.

We are new to the game and one advanced player who is the organizer for our league suggested this paddle. It is well made and the shape is also good for someone new to the game. I see most players playing with this shape however. Looks good, light weight, sturdy, good grip. No issues.

Pro: Light, easy grip, forgiving, easy to use, good quality, gives that satisfying “pop” with a large sweet spot Con: Lacks power, texture does not lend itself to spin easily

Great starter pickleball padel. Affordable and easy to use when your starting to play the game
