ONIX Graphite MOD Z5 Graphite Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddles with Cushion Comfort Pickleball Paddle Grip

I just started playing Pickleball with friends and needed a good paddle after playing with generic paddles and finding them unsuitable. As I am a tennis player, I found the generics lacking in spin and control. I switched to the Onix Z5 coupled with good outdoor balls and my game instantly reached the level of my tennis game. Using the combination, I am able to replicate most of the controlled shots I used in tennis with Pickleball. The Onix paddle really delivers when one needs it. So much so that I also got one for a friend for her birthday.

It's lightweight. Very easy to handle.

Like the new racquet! Love the grip size. I have a smaller hand, the last one was too big I gave it away, so far so good.

excellent starter paddle

I have played over 20 years and have numerous paddles… high end ones and some very beginner ones when I was starting to play (which I now let the grandkids use). And I was pleasantly surprised how well this paddle works for me. Everybody has to find the paddle that fits their play… and this one has a lot of bounce and recoil to it.. so I play a little differently with it and thoroughly enjoy using it. Nice paddle..good price.

I love it. I would not play with any other paddle, great weight and quality.

We are above beginner-level pickleball players and paddles are good. I did research and found these were recommended as some of the best paddles for under $100.

Replacing my older Z5 as I liked it so much and I am not willing to pay $150 for a fancier one. This one works fine for 95% of players. This is actually the V2 version with updated graphics so that is a plus if looks matter to you.
