We are reviewing the Onix Hammer wooden pickleball paddle. Normally, we don't like to review wooden pickleball paddles, but these are different them your rec center wood paddles. The folks at Onix Sports, have redesigned wooden pickleball paddles: lighter, good looking, and comfortable. The Hammer weighs in at 9oz, has a varnished face with a nice contour grip handle that is better then having a hand full off wood on skin like the rec center variety. The standard wood paddle is the Diller or Swinger that weighs just under 11 oz, is unvarnished, and has a wood grip. You would probably not want to be playing tournaments, or daily recreational pickleball with them, but they are great for new pickleball clubs, or for taking to the cabin for friends and family that stop by during the summer. These paddles sell for $25 each. Contact us to purchase these nice little wooden paddles.
It would be even a nicer paddle if they were a full seven inches wide and more rectangular and a bit longer. i personally think a longer paddle helps with smashers and reaching for dinks.
