Frequently Asked Questions
Who makes Onix pickleball paddles?
Onix is a brand of Escalade Sports, a publicly-traded sporting-goods company. Onix has been making pickleball paddles, balls, nets, and court equipment since the early days of the modern sport.
What's the difference between Evoke Premier, Premier Raw Carbon, and Premier CT-16?
All three are Evoke Premier variants with different face materials. Premier is the base. Premier Raw Carbon uses an unpainted carbon-fiber face for maximum spin. Premier CT-16 is the composite-face variant, tuned for soft touch.
Is the Onix Z5 still a good paddle?
Yes. The Z5 is one of the longest-running paddles in pickleball. The original geometry is still popular with players who like its shape and feel, and Onix keeps the line updated with the Mod Series and Mod V2 refreshes.
What is Onix's open-throat design?
The Malice line uses an open-throat geometry where the paddle shaft meets the face. This shaves weight off the throat of the paddle without reducing the hitting surface, resulting in a quicker-swinging paddle at tournament weight.
Are Onix paddles USAPA-approved?
Yes. Every Onix paddle in the current lineup is approved for USA Pickleball sanctioned tournament play.
Does Onix offer a warranty?
Yes. Every Onix paddle ships with the full Onix manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Pickleball Clearance is an authorized Onix dealer, so warranty claims go through us.
