Onix Z5 Graphite Original Pickleball Paddle, Yellow

This a great paddle that has a really good pop to it. Looks to be great quality in the build and the grip wrap is fairly smooth and not the overlapping tape thing found in so many other paddles. You could spend more and maybe not get anything better. Wal Mart had the best price on it that I could find.

I'm still a learning novice, about a 3.0 level. But this paddle is worth the price and then some. Power is not overwhelming, but sufficient. but the sweet spot is large and the spin potential is impressive, at least at this level. If you are a beginner or intermediate, you can't do much better.

Great paddle for beginners

Sure it is a fine product according to reviews, but not used yet. As I said earlier in survey, this was not the item pictured online ( which the Onix company does make), but similar. I would have liked the item pictured better than the one received.

This is a great pickleball paddle! I bought it here because it was a good price. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because it arrived with a nick cut out of the handle band. It made a wood colored spot that I filled in with a sharpie pen. The pink is cheaper than the other colors. I like pink anyway.

This is my second one, I like the feel of it and the ball control. What I don't like is the way the handle is made, my first one the handle broke in half, I think you need a stronger material in the handle section instead of two pieces of foam. Handle has same honey comb core as the paddle with the same face material which has two pieces of close cell foam over that, not much strength.

Satisfaction on the product good, still learning the game of pickleball and this paddle is an upgrade from what I've been using. As for price and quality I always like to find things cheaper but this seems to be a good value for the price. Quality seems good compared from other similar products I have seen

Gave it a four-star but I would have given a five-star if there was a rubber band around the top of the handle where the tape is, otherwise the paddle is great.

I read all those glowing reviews detailing what an exceptional paddle the Z5 was. Lesson learned. Don't believe everything you read. Tape is already coming off the handle. The grip seems smaller than I had hoped and the paddle is far too light for my taste. All in all, in my opinion, a mediocre paddle at best.

Shipped open package and Z5 Mod paddle instead of Z5 pictured. The only difference is in the graphics but I was trying to match the pattern of a paddle I had already purchased in a different color. I know it was opened because sleeve was cut to remove paddle and there was no protective covering on handle as with a new one.
