Who is the Onix Premium Pickleball Paddles 16mm for?
At a listed 8 oz it sits in the midweight band (about 7.8 to 8.2 oz) that suits most adult players, balancing hand speed against stability.
The 16 mm core points toward control and a softer feel: more dwell time for dinks, drops and resets.
A carbon fiber face generally grips the ball well for spin and feels more controlled than fiberglass.
