ONIX Fuse G2 Outdoor Pickleballs

94Universal Acclaim

The ONIX Fuse G2 receives overwhelmingly positive reviews for its exceptional durability and cold weather performance, with many players noting these balls last significantly longer than competitors like Dura and Franklin without cracking. Players consistently praise the ball's quieter sound, softer feel, and stable performance in windy conditions, though some note it plays slower and softer than harder tournament balls. A small minority of players dislike the softer characteristics, with some refusing to play with them due to the different feel compared to traditional harder balls.

Solid choice: The balls seem to fly true. Not quite as stiff, maybe not the right word, as I suspected, but a solid choice for me, a recreational player.

Pickleball afficianados work at Dick's Northbrook IL: I just started to play pickleball. Was an avid tennis player in the past. Went into the Northbrook IL store. The staff there was enthusiastically attentive in giving me advice about selecting the appropriate pickleball paddle and balls that are a good match with my ability.

People refuse to play with them.: Every open play I take these to, people refuse to play with them. They seem softer, don’t bounce and get a negative reaction out of folks. ***PBC Response*** Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! Every ball is not designed for every player or environment. Please reach out to our customer service team by phone or email for more information on how to return these with in 30days . - Anastasia, PBC Team

Durable in cold yet feels very flat: I bought these because I heard they're more durable in the winter than other outdoor balls. Most of us use Franklin x-40s, but below about 45-degrees they crack after about 30-60 mins of play. Enter, Onyx fuse G2. I've played many games with these in sub-45-defree weather. Sadly, their bounce feels so much flatter than other balls I've played with. They're really a completely different ball. It's akin to playing basketball with a ball that isn't fully inflate

Onix Fuse G2 outdoor balls: We use the Fuse G2 balls as they are significantly quieter than other brands, reducing noise complaints from near-by residents . They are softer than Dura or Franklin, making them slower, but we feel they are the best choice to mitigate noise while offering decent playing characteristics.

G2: Tried these compared to some others on Amazon. There are a lot of different balls on the market. Someone should do a legit comparison. However. The G2 feels firmer and when side by nside and dropped,n the G2 actually bounces higher by a few inches, good for us older players

Onix G2: Perfect for our outdoor winter pickleball. We also use this ball for indoor play. No hard balls (Duras, Franklins, SLK Comp, Engage Neon, Core …. etc.) can last more than a few games during our winter season up here in the north. These balls are slightly slower but at least the would last a few days.

Onix fuse G2: We have a group of about 6 to 8 that have played outdoors sense the start of Covid year round. We have played with Dura fast 40 and Franklin also but we break 3 or 4 balls in a 2 hour session. We just broke our first G2 ball after playing with it for about 10 days. It’s not as lively as Franklin ball but it last far longer.
