Onix premier paddle: My third paddle of this style, seems to work fine for me, I am a 3.5 player,

Onix
The ONIX Evoke Premier is widely praised for its excellent balance of power and control, generous sweet spot, and solid build quality at a competitive price point. However, some users report durability issues including loose edge guards, internal rattling, and handle separation, which represent meaningful quality control concerns despite the retailer's strong customer service.

Onix Evoke Premeir Light: After hitting with paddle less than 4 hrs the handle completely separated from the head. I was sinking a soft shot so it wasn’t by impact of the ball. Just horrible construction.***PBC Response*** Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!

Three paddles all broke: After playing only a few times there was something loose inside, like a piece of the core broke off. PBC replaced it and almost immediately the same thing happened on the replacement paddle. They replaced it again and again I got a rattle inside, but not quite as bad as the others so I didn't return it, but after 10 weeks the handle broke when I hit a shot. PBC would not replace it a third time, and would only offer store credit. I really liked playing with this paddle a

Like the feel of the paddle, but the first purchase the honeycomb broke inside and it was rattling. This was after 4 times playing with it. Pickleball Central sent a new one out, now the second one is doing same thing again after 3 plays. Not satis: See above

Onix Evoke Premier: I was somewhat reluctant on giving this paddle a try but I’m so glad I did. This paddle has helped my game tremendously. I was looking for a paddle that would give me more power and it checks the box. Serves are faster and deeper with less effort. Punch blocks are powerful and effortlessly. The most surprising thing I noticed was the touch while dinking and reset drops. I thought I would lose touch with this paddle but that isn’t the case. What a great paddle for the cost.

Evoke Premiere: Not as soft as my Prolite Titan. I can feel the vibrations on my hand. Also the noise when the ball hits the paddle is quite loud compared to my other paddles. Haven’t played with it long enough but seems to have good power.

Love my new Evoke Premier paddle: Had the opportunity to borrow a friends paddle before investing in my own. Amazing the difference I played with the Evoke Premier paddle. Took my level of playing to placing the ball better, definitely more control on back hand and serving.

Another Happy Customer....: After reading all of the positive reviews, I purchased my Onix Evoke Premier Paddle from PickleBall Central and requested an 8.0 or 8.1oz if possible. I knew I was leaving on a trip to San Diego in 6 days and was hoping that I would have the paddle in time to take with me. Low and behold, I received it in 4 days and not only that, it was 8.1oz as requested. Now that's what I call service, with a capital "S". Thank You!!

SUPERB Customer Service: You can trust Pickleball Central to give you great customer service! My husband has very particular taste in pickleball paddles. We ordered a new one, a brand he didn't try before, and after playing a few games with it, he knew it wasn't for him. We sent back the return and he ordered his favorite (Evoke Premier) and it came in with a tiny defect near the handle. When I called customer service, they immediately shipped out a new paddle, with a return mailing slip, and ev

Love this paddle!: I played with the Onix Z5 paddle for two years and the Evoke gives me everything I appreciated plus softer touch and better control.

Evoke Premier: I purchased this paddle to add some pop. Currently use the Electrum E and enjoy the paddle in the soft game. So far the onix has added the pop but I’ve lost some touch and control. Hopefully my hands will soften to the paddle or I will go back to the E. Seems to be good quality and has a very solid feel. It definetly has the sound if you know what I mean. That could be good or bad I guess

Really like this paddle: I've been looking for a no nonsense paddle that just gets the job done, and this one fits the bill. Comfortable, solid, speedy, and reliable. Thumbs up!

Great Paddle - Great Value: I've tried quite a few premium paddles in the last year, but I have been more satisfied with the Evoke Premier than others I have tried, and it's $50-$75 less than most of those other paddles. For me, it's been a great balance of control and power. I can place my shots more effectively, can impart spin and slice more effectively, and it still has excellent pop! A great paddle for a wide range of players and skills!

Fantastic Selection with Superior Customer Service: I can’t say enough about Pickleball Central. I have purchased three paddles, a mystery box, balls and just love choices and options they have available. I have also had to make a return as well and their customer service was just over the top! They were very helpful in making an exchange and providing me with advice as well. I will continue to shop at Pickleball Central and tell all my fellow players to use them for all their Pickleball nee

Replaced the same paddle that is 2 years old: Surface is much more rough than the old version that is 2 years old. Expected more spin, but seems not.

New Paddle: My new Evoke Paddle is what I hoped it would be, light enough not to hurt my elbow, but with enough control to manage the ball. The rep was very helpful and I received my paddle within days of ordering it.

Power/Pop/Control: Love this paddle. Lots of power (so be patient with it) and control. I did the standard which is a larger grip (4 1/8”) for my small hands. Would perfect the lightweight.

Great for the price: Bought a light paddle for people that want to play, but don’t have equipment. Light paddle and easy to control. Good paddle for someone new to the game to use. I use it sometimes if I just want to play a game with high accuracy of shots. Might get another when on sale again.

Paddle review: Good price point and I love the lightweight model. I own an intermediate paddle and hoped this would be a game changer for me, but I’ve noticed very little difference between paddles.

A right paddle for my playing style.: I was deciding which paddles were best for my playing style and skill level. I play with a Selkirk Sport AMPED EPIC 8.0 for recreational matches requiring extra control and accuracy and also play with the ONIX Evoke Premier in matches that require more power with a little less accuracy. Both paddles are in my estimation the best value offered today. I’m sure either paddle would satisfy most all play levels.

Amazing paddle!: This is my 3rd paddle in 3 years. It’s literally the best feeling paddle with my play style and I play(4.0) so not a professional but it has all the great attributes, spin/power/touch/nice sweet spot! Only issue is the edge guard will come loose after a while if your hittin it on the ground or dropping it. And last but not least pickleball central is literally the best place to order if you want to get one that’s the weight you want!!!

**My Dream Paddle**: In comparison to other paddles that I've owned, the Premier paddle is by far the best for great power and control! Also kudos to PB Central staff for their quick response to questions and professionalism! Every order that I've placed always has arrived well before the ETA. Always a great buying experience! Thank you PB Central!!

Solid feel, great overall paddle: I am 6" 1` and 230 plus, using a lightweight 8 oz. model. Sure it hits hard, but all quality paddles do that. I wanted better control at the net for soft shots and fast play. This delivers very well. The feel is solid, even on off-center contacts. The balance is more towards the handle, so it is very maneuverable. Putting spin on serve returns is very easy, and controllable. My lovely spouse tried it and I thought I had lost it. Now she has a 7.5 oz. ve
