WearTesters reviewed three notable Onix pickleball paddles for 2025: the Onix Supercell, Malice DB, and Hype X. The Onix Supercell is highlighted as a control-oriented paddle with a thick 22 mm core, offering excellent value at $140, comparable in design to higher-priced models like the Selkirk Luxx Control Air. The Malice DB features a unique double-bridge open-throat design aimed at providing pop and vibration reduction, but it has durability concerns with its removable edge guards and is considered less suitable as a daily driver despite its $250 price. The Onix Hype X is praised for its traditional construction and balanced all-court performance, offering good value under $100, especially when weighted with tape to reduce vibration and enhance the sweet spot.
Overall, the review emphasizes the Supercell as the best value for control-focused players, the Malice DB as a niche paddle with mixed feedback, and the Hype X as a versatile, affordable option. Onix provided the paddles for testing but did not influence the reviews, and WearTesters invites readers to share their own experiences or favorite Onix paddles.
