Onix Evoke Premier Senior Pickleball Paddle

OK, so I'm a pickleball fanatic...a cross-over after 65 years of playing tennis. I know what it takes to deliver power, spin, and touch from the backcourt, and from the net. I found it all with the Evoke Premier paddle. I purchased the 'heavy' model, which gives my shots that extra pop I want. The surface is nicely textured, and delivers all the spin I can muster. If I could find any room for improvement in the Evoke Premier, it would be the material used for the handle, which can get quite slippery under humid conditions. Some overwrap took care of that. Although this frame has been around for awhile, I highly recommend it.

This was my first higher end paddle. It gave me more power, control, and speed at the net during hands battles. It helped compete at a much higher level. It is incredibly durable and has held up very well for 200+ games. I would highly recommend it.

I play both singles and doubles and this was the first paddle that worked for both. I've had this paddle for about a year now and love it, it's the perfect amount of speed and control for my playing style. If you are looking for more speed or more control, I would recommend upgrading to the Premier Pro Carbon which is also a really nice paddle.

I got the red lightweight Onyx Evoke paddle. It weighs 7.7 oz and is heavier (and more top heavy) than my lightweight Selkirk. I love the tennis-handle shape of the grip; however, the padding on the grip is very thin and can get uncomfortable. If Onyx can figure out how to give some more grip padding without adding more weight and circumference to the grip, they'll have a true winner.

Great balance of control with sufficient power. Large paddle face is a plus with volleys,

Our offices have pickleball courts and we are welcome to test products. We play weekly every weekend and the Evoke Premier pickleball paddle has been my favorite. It is a great step up from the Evoke Pro. It has great pop and power. A terrific all around paddle for players.

I got this product a few weeks back and I am beyond pleased with it! The racquets have come a long way in the past few years but this particular racquet is just awesome!

Solid choice for a combo of control/feel and power
