Pickleball Paddles

Along with understanding your skill level and play type, it’s important to know what exactly you want out of a paddle throughout pickleball play. We understand the importance of quality and performance, and we want to help you find a paddle that meets your specific needs.

It is important to look at the weight of the paddle as well as the paddle shape and grip size. The weight of a paddle can significantly impact your game. Lighter paddles offer more maneuverability, making them ideal for quick reactions, while medium-weight paddle provides a good balance between more power and control. Then, a heavyweight pickleball paddle offers more power and force behind precise shots.

It’s also important to look at paddle shape. The typical paddle shapes are wide body, elongated, and traditional shapes, and these shapes can influence your performance on the court. Wide-body paddles offer a larger sweet spot, making them easier and more ideal for beginners or players who prefer a more forgiving paddle. On the other end, elongated shape paddles offer more reach and can help advanced players execute precise shots, especially during fast-paced rallies.

Pickleball paddles that have a thicker core often have more power, which allows players to hit the ball with more force but less effort. Paddles made with a thinner core often provide more ability to control during play, which in turn allows players to perfect their shots with better accuracy. We carry paddles in every material, weight, and size. We don't want the number of pickleball paddles we offer to cause stress. Our pickleball experts can help you.

A Thermofused (patented by ONIX) paddle is one that uses heat and pressure to form a paddle all into one piece. The word thermofused sums up what the process is, which is heat that fuses the materials together. These types of paddles are usually more durable and provide more consistent play characteristics such as a larger sweet spot and increased power and/or control.

Raw carbon pickleball paddle surfaces provide a naturally textured paddle surface which increases spin and control on the ball for improved and precise shot making. Overall, raw carbon pickleball paddles offer better feel, better power, better spin, more control, and more durability.

While some players use the name interchangeably, the term “paddle” is more widely accepted within the pickleball community and is the more appropriate word to use when referring to the sport. This is because we don’t want to confuse a pickleball paddle with a tennis racket, since they are very different from one another. In short: the correct term is a pickleball paddle, NOT a racket.
