Cornered

The surface and corner protectors don't seem to last as long as the ones on the black/blue version of the paddle. Not sure why. Otherwise a great paddle.

Difference In Your Hands

The Onix MeliceDB is an absolute game-changer! As someone passionate about pickleball, I’ve tried countless paddles, but this one stands out as a true masterpiece. The precision, power, and control it offers are unparalleled. From the first swing, I noticed how the paddle feels perfectly balanced in my hand. The carbon-fiber surface delivers exceptional touch and spin, making it a dream for dinks and finesse shots. Yet, when it’s time to smash, the core design provides explosive power that keeps opponents on their toes. If you’re serious about improving your skills and dominating on the court, the Onix MeliceDB is a must-have.

Fast In The Hands With A Lot Of Pop!

Great low swing weight paddle with a lot of pop and good power too. Very stable and a good feeling with the vibration dampening technology it has. Enjoyed using this especially if you like getting in hands battles.

Paint Already Chipped After One Month

This paddle has good power and spin. It’s unfortunate that the paint already chipped after one month of recreational play. For this price point, I would expect the paddle to have greater durability. A part of the issue is that the texture is painted on Other paddles with carbon fiber textured last longer.

Great Paddle Except Surface Material.

I love the paddle in every way except the surface. I feel like the grit has faded very quickly and their is not much spin ability.

Review

Got the Malice DB in 14mm about 2 months ago as an upgrade to my Onix Evoke Premier 14mm. The Evoke was definitely a solid paddle! The Malice loses it's grit super quick and is not holding up at all. Small chips are forming around the paddle (not from scraping an edge). The paddle has lost all power, it seems to hit like a wooden paddle now. The pop is super loud, but is not giving the speed or power (it is confusing myself and opponets too LOL). Will be seeking other paddles this week.

Nice Looks And Performance, But Durability ???

Racquet has greet feel and plenty of pop. It’s aesthetically appealing as well. I didn’t give it a full 5 stars because the price point, the white paint used is chipping and the plastic guard is already cracked after a month of play.

Plays Great But Falling Apart

I enjoy this paddle, good feel and power. But after 2 months of use, the edge guard peeled away and the unprotected edges are severely chipped. It won’t last long
