Onix Malice 14

The Onix Malice 14 is a standard-shaped pickleball paddle with a 14mm polypropylene honeycomb core, a material known for its balance of power and control. The face is constructed of carbon fiber, often associated with control and feel. Weighing 8 ounces, it falls into the midweight category. Its 5-inch grip may be less suitable for players who prefer a two-handed backhand. The swing weight is 104, considered low and contributing to maneuverability. The twist weight is 5.85 with a twist weight rating of 3.8 out of 10 and a twist weight percentile of 24%, suggesting moderate torsional stability. This paddle may be suitable for a wide range of players, from beginner to intermediate, seeking a balance of power and control. The combination of core and face materials could offer a blend of power and touch. The standard shape may provide a familiar feel for players transitioning from other paddle sports. While the lower swing weight enhances maneuverability, it might generate less power compared to heavier paddles. The shorter grip length could be a limitation for some players.
