Matthew Boyett
Matthew Boyett, a proud member of Team ONIX Pickleball, has been passionately engaged in the sport of pickleball since 2015. His journey into the world of pickleball began quite unexpectedly when his mother-in-law invited him to join her for a game at their local recreation center. Intrigued, Boyett quickly immersed himself in the game, watching instructional videos to grasp the fundamentals. Since that fateful day, he has been captivated by the sport, dedicating countless hours to playing and honing his skills. Today, he shares his love for pickleball by teaching aspiring players, averaging an impressive 30 hours of coaching each week. Originally hailing from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Boyett now resides about an hour north of Austin, Texas, where he enjoys life with his wife.
What Boyett loves most about pickleball is the unique blend of competition and camaraderie it offers. He cherishes the opportunity to engage with others who share his enthusiasm for the game. “I truly enjoy the social aspect of pickleball. It’s fantastic to be part of a sport that is continually growing and evolving,” he reflects. “There’s always something new to learn, and I find myself constantly pushing to adapt my strategies.” Through his coaching experiences, he considers himself fortunate to have met numerous exceptional coaches and players. His passion for the game has taken him to various locations, where he has conducted camps in Mexico, Costa Rica, and multiple venues in Texas alongside other professional pickleball players.
When it comes to equipment, Boyett relies on the ONIX 16mm Evoke Premier Raw Carbon paddle. He appreciates its innovative wide body shape and longer handle, which enhance his gameplay. “The 16mm paddle offers an incredible amount of pop while providing the touch I need during mid-court exchanges. My counter volleys feel fantastic, thanks to the wide body shape that offers a generous sweet spot,” he explains. The paddle’s design is specifically engineered to improve performance, allowing players like Boyett to maximize their potential on the court.
The Raw Carbon pickleball paddle features a unique raw carbon fiber surface that enhances traction on the ball, enabling players to achieve maximum spin and control without compromising on power or pop. This cutting-edge technology contributes to Boyett’s success as he navigates through matches, allowing him to execute precise shots with confidence.
Boyett takes immense pride in his evolution as a pickleball player. Starting as a true beginner, he has diligently worked his way up to become a 5.0 level medalist in the sport. Currently, he is focused on preparing for upcoming Pro and Open Pickleball events, where he aims to showcase his skills on an even larger stage. His journey is a testament to the dedication and passion that pickleball inspires in its players.
