I ’ ve not tried virtually every one of the new paddles — the models and thicknesses.

And the thinner versions available in some models just don ’ t have the touch that I require for my 3rds& resets. This is a great paddle!

Lotto Ultimo Pro 16mm Pickleball Paddle is the real deal. I was amazed how light this paddle was, when I first got it. The handle is longer than my other paddles, which was good. The ball doesn ’ t jump off the paddle as much compared to my other paddle, so I like it for dink or short shots. When it was time to smash the ball, I liked using it because of the longer handle. I also liked how I could put spin on the ball with this paddle.

I really like the feel of the grip. I have a bit more control but not a lot of power, compared to the crappy ones. Sometimes I switch paddles between the Head and the crappy ones, but that lasts for 3 or 4 shots and I come back to the Head paddle.

I have been playing with the Holbrook Aero Metallic T 14mm for just over two weeks now and can not say enough about how pleased I am with it. I was previously playing with more of a `` power '' paddle and wanted to switch to a balance of control and power as I am now playing more doubles, so, speed at the net was also a consideration. This paddle checks all the boxes: power, control, spin, speed- I love the edgeless face and the weighting system and balance is perfect. I did not need to do any additional tuning. Plus, it looks just different enough that it gets attention and has sparked a few conversations.

My wife and I love this paddle. It has so much better qualities versus our other one. It ’s lighter, it has a larger surface area, it ’s longer, it has a better grip, and it provides a much more solid strike and control of the ball with minimal effort. Kind of like moving from an inexpensive Hyundai to a well equipped Lexus. Both will get you to your place but one will feel and drive so much better than the other. Now the question of how much usage will I get with the new paddle as my wife has claimed it as hers.

I was nervous to try a new paddle for my first ever 4. 0 pickleball tournament, but it ended up being the best decision I 've made! My partner and I ended up getting the gold!!! I bought this paddle a month ago because I wanted a foam paddle. Holbrooks Dual Density foam core interested me a lot and it did not disappoint at all! The power is very springy and it can really launch the ball. On the other hand, I noticed the ability I had to control the bal for resets, blocks, dinks, drops, was phenomenal. I would highly recommend this paddle! It will be my main paddle I use now!

I 've used all the new Malice, Malice DB and Mayhem paddles from Onix. The Malice Open throat paddle provides great control while not sacrificing power. It's got a larger sweet spot on it than the carbon fiber paddles. The power frame technology ensures that the paddle is built solid and will not break, while the thermofused process ensures really good vibration control.

I have used a couple of inexpensive paddles and this one feels a lot better when you hit the ball. The grip is super comfortable and is a little bit longer, making it easier to use a backhand. It ’s also a perfect size for my smaller hand. Because the paddle is a tad rougher, it makes for a great top/back spin. The core density provides a solid hit.

5 K. Patel
I finally got to play with this paddle after it arrived two weeks ago. This thing is awesome. Very light weight yet sturdy when you hit the ball. This has a sweet spot all over and I have yet to find a dead spot. All the other players took turns use the paddle. They were all amazed what a difference this makes versus a beginner paddle.

[ I ’ ve only recently started playing pickleball and usually just play casually with friends once a week, but I really like this paddle! The feel is solid and well- balanced, giving me good control over my shots. The construction is impressive for the price — lightweight yet sturdy. The handle is comfortable and absorbs impact nicely. It doesn ’ t slip even when my hands get sweaty, which is a huge plus. The paddle face has a light texture that provides a good grip on the ball, making spin easier to generate. The sweet spot is forgiving, and the paddle ’s response feels crisp without being too stiff. Overall, it ’s a fantastic upgrade for any beginner moving toward intermediate play. I ’ m really happy with it.

Weight distribution is spot on and does not lack in power at all. The paddle feels far more solid which I can feel in every hit. Lastly, the vibration control is amazing. I did n't think much about vibration control with my other paddles, but I can feel the difference with this one. I highly recommend this paddle!

I have been using the Evoke Premier Pro Raw Carbon Pickleball for rec play as well as tournament play. The paddles plays very nicely. It has a very large sweet spot and has the raw carbon face which allows you to add an enormous amount of spin to the ball. It comes in 4 different widths, so you can pick the exact type of power/touch you are looking for.

5 PicklballPlayer
Recently got this paddle and immediately played in a tournament with it. It changed my game! The power I was able to generate off my drives, the zip my ball had off it in fast hands rallies, and the control I had with it make it a great paddle. Looking forward to playing with it more!

This paddle is a homerun for ONIX. I am an employee at ONIX Pickleball and have had the opportunity to play with a large variety of paddles from all across the pickleball market. The 16mm Max Control Raw Carbon has become BY FAR my favorite paddle. I have more control at the net than ever before without having to sacrifice any power. The sweet spot on this paddle is huge, which gives me much more confidence to be aggressive and take advantage of my opponents mistakes.

5 Pickleball Bob
Right out of the box the 12mm felt light and has strong power. My shots were rocketing low and deep. The light feel enabled drops to land softly in the kitchen. The extra grip helped spinning shots dart off line.

Bought this paddle in Dec 2021 to replace a less expensive paddle my daughter permanently borrowed. I was an advanced beginner at the time. This paddle has grown with me over the months. I am now ranked at 3. 5. I 've tried several other paddles over the months, but none quite delivers in ball control and large sweet spot. This is most helpful up at the net, ball speed, and with shot placement. I also now appreciate the grip which holds up better than most, with no stickiness. Just as importantly, this paddle saves wear and tear on my elbow and shoulder. No pain with this paddle. You have to pay about 50% more to get the same performance from competing paddles. The Crown 2 is a hidden gem.

Frequently Asked Questions For 8 oz Pickleball Paddles

An 8 oz pickleball paddle offers a balance of power and control, making it suitable for players who want to generate strong shots while maintaining precision. The weight allows for better stability during play, which can enhance your overall performance. Additionally, this weight category can help reduce arm fatigue during longer matches, making it a popular choice for both recreational and competitive players.

8 oz pickleball paddles are typically made from a combination of composite materials, including fiberglass, carbon fiber, and polymer cores. These materials contribute to the paddle's durability and performance, allowing for a good mix of power and control. The choice of materials can also affect the paddle's feel and responsiveness, which is important for players looking to improve their game.

Choosing the right grip size for an 8 oz pickleball paddle is crucial for comfort and performance. A grip that is too small can lead to slippage, while a grip that is too large can cause discomfort and reduce control. To find your ideal grip size, measure the distance from the tip of your ring finger to the second line on your palm, and refer to sizing charts to select the appropriate grip size.

An 8 oz pickleball paddle is versatile and can benefit a range of playing styles, particularly those who favor a balanced approach between power and control. Players who engage in both aggressive net play and strategic baseline rallies will find this weight category advantageous. Additionally, it suits players who enjoy a mix of finesse and power shots, allowing for a well-rounded game.

Yes, 8 oz pickleball paddles can be suitable for beginners, as they provide a good balance of power and control that can help new players develop their skills. The stability offered by this weight can enhance confidence during play, making it easier to learn the fundamentals of the game. However, beginners should also consider their personal comfort and preference when selecting a paddle.
