Verdicts
ONIX Evoke Premier
An underrated standard-shape all-rounder. It rewards players who make clean contact in the middle of the face and does nothing badly.
ONIX Z5 Graphite
The paddle that introduced a generation to pickleball. It is fast and cheap, but the thin Nomex core is loud and dated next to modern polymer builds.
