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

I have been playing pickleball for 6 months, and the last 3 months I have been using the Z5 and love it. One day on the court a friend told me to try his $200 paddle so I could see what it was like to play with a really good paddle. I was not impressed with his $200 paddle at all and told him I will stick with my “cheap” paddle. If mine breaks tomorrow, I’ll buy another Z5.

Super light and nice feel to them when you’re playing. For anyone with any kind of arm or elbow issues this is a good one because it’s so light.

This racket was recommended to me and I love the way looked so I ordered it. I got it in September, but I didn’t begin playing until the second week of December of last year. I was playing yesterday and realized that it was beginning to tear away from the frame at the top of the handle. Today I was playing and it literally just shredded while I was playing and I had to go over and borrow someone else's racket to finish the match. Even though I’ve only played with it a month and a half I am unable to return it because the window has closed. I loved playing with it and would’ve probably given it a five star at the beginning but, this is very sad because it was not cheap. UPDATE: I contacted the company about my racquet and they were very understanding and sent a replacement. After playing with it I can say that I like it. It feels good and has a comfortable grip. I'm hoping my first racquet flaw was just an isolated case.

If you are brand new to pickleball - these are great starter paddles. You will outgrow them quickly if you continue playing, but it’s a decent paddle until you look for the next $100+ paddle

Good weight, love it!

I'm a rapidly progressing intermediate player. I'd already bought and progressed three other composite paddles. I was getting good results, but after I played a pick-up game with someone using this paddle, I was intrigued with how effortless his strokes were and how much power he got on the ball. So I bought it on the hope I could benefit. I know that sometimes improvements are all in your head like a placebo effect. But I've now played dozens of times with this paddle and can attest to its bigger sweet spot, balanced feel, balance between power and control. I love it. I let others in my regular group play with it and two of them bought it as well. I can't say how this compares to racquets in the $150+ range. But I can say it is well worth spending the money on this racquet versus the many racquets in the $50 range or the 2 for 1 deals in the $50 range.

Great beginner/low intermediate paddle. Large sweet spot, consistent shots and durable. I used it when I started out, until I upgraded. The only thing I didn't like is it felt under powered. A couple of lead would have helped with that, but my brother in law upgraded his paddle so he gave me his old one ( 10 months old...he is hardcore).

I just finished playing with the Z5 Graphite for the first time. I'm a 4.0-4.5 and had been playing Wilson Energy series. No more! Onyx Z5 => Tremendous combination of power and control. I get terrific spin on serve, returns and even dinks - I am able to pull people off the court with sidespin on my kitchen dinks in a way that I couldn't with the Wilson. Real pop on drives from the baseline and we were playing in 40 deg. The grip is forgiving, a little narrower than the Wilson so I feel like I have more control over the racquet. Highly recommend! This racquet is good both for beginners AND advanced players.

J'adore cette raquette. Le poids, le rapport qualité prix sont parfaits. Pour joueurs récréatifs.

The 4+ reviews on this paddle are justified. My wife has fallen in love with this paddle & remarks on its low weight & comfortable handle. Looks like I may have to buy another one for myself😂

I studied Pickle Ball pallets and read many reviews on different models/brands. I wanted to spend less but decided to spend a few more $ based on the reviews I read. Until buying the Z5 I was borrowing paddles from other players and being new to the sport I really couldn’t tell a good paddle from one that is not as good. I’ve been using the Z5 for a month now and have also received some valuable training so my game has improved significantly. The more I use the Z5 the more I like it and I’m finding that my confidence is growing every game with improved accuracy, control and power. I believe the Z5 is a big part of my game improvement.

I am very happy with the paddle after using it as a pickleball beginner for a few games. Nice weight and feel - handle is a very good fit. The somewhat textured surface provides great spin and control. So far, completely happy with this purchase. Great price for beginner or intermediate players.

Somos principiantes en Pickleball, con años de juego en Tenis. La raqueta es muy cómoda y la recomendamos mucho. La unica queja es que se desprendió el grip después de una semana de uso
