Start Strong in 2026 Upgrade Your Pickleball Game With ONIX
As we step into 2026, pickleball isn’t slowing down, and neither are the players who want to elevate their game. Whether you’re entering tournaments, joining a competitive league, or just discovering the fun of backyard and park play, the new year is the perfect time to refresh your gear and step onto the court with confidence. ONIX Pickleball, a trusted leader since before the sport’s boom, has paddles, sets, and accessories to meet every player where they are and take them further.
From raw carbon power to dependable starter sets, here’s how to gear up for your best pickleball year yet.
For Tournament Play: The Malice DB Open Throat Raw Carbon Fiber Paddle
If 2026 is your year to dominate tournaments, you need a paddle built for precision, power, and durability and nothing checks those boxes like the ONIX Malice DB Open Throat Raw Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle.
This paddle pairs the exceptional touch and control of the Malice series with a raw carbon fiber surface texture that grips the ball for unmatched spin and accuracy. Every shot feels intentional, whether you’re dropping soft dinks or firing passing drives.
The patented carbon fiber Power Frame wraps the entire paddle, giving it extra strength to withstand intense, high-level play. Inside the tennis-style handle, high-density foam reduces vibration and enhances comfort, helping you stay controlled even through long matches. The polypropylene honeycomb core brings the perfect balance of touch and pop, and players can choose between the 14 mm double-bridge build for added power or the 16 mm option for maximum control.
For Competitive & Performance Play: The Hype X Pro Paddle
If you're ready to move beyond casual games and into more consistent competitive play this year, the Hype X Pro Raw Carbon Pickleball Paddle is your next-level performance paddle.
The Raw Carbon Fiber Face provides predictable spin, while the Reactive Honeycomb Core delivers that lively pop you want for drives, volleys, and counterattacks. Its elongated shape expands the sweet spot, giving you more forgiveness and consistency on every type of shot.
What sets the Hype X Pro apart is ONIX’s patented Carbon Fiber Power Frame with ThermoFused™ Technology, which increases durability so your paddle keeps its shape and performance far longer than typical designs.
This paddle is built for the player stepping into leagues, weekly matches, and structured play.
For Recreational & Family Play: The Recruit Deluxe Composite Pickleball Set
If your goal for 2026 is simply to get outside and play more, the ONIX Recruit Composite Pickleball Set is the perfect place to start. This convenient, all-in-one set includes two durable composite paddles that give new players just the right amount of control and comfort while learning the game. The modern, eye-catching graphics make the paddles fun to use and easy to spot.
The set also comes with four dependable pickleballs suitable for multiple court surfaces, whether you're playing in the driveway, at the park, or on a dedicated pickleball court. It’s everything beginners, or casual players looking for a simple setup, need to start enjoying the sport immediately. It’s an affordable, accessible introduction to pickleball, backed by ONIX’s reputation for innovation and quality.
