ONIX
9.5/10Elongated raw-carbon paddle with a foam core
ONIX's tournament-level paddle pairs a T700 raw carbon fiber face with an Endurafoam solid core, which ONIX says keeps its pop and feel longer than a honeycomb core. It comes in 13 mm for a faster feel or 16 mm for added weight and power.
ONIX
9.3/10Elongated raw-carbon paddle with a textured spin surface
An elongated 14 mm paddle with ONIX's MAXRev surface texture on a raw carbon face, an Adaptive Dual Core with interior perimeter foam, and a Carbon Fiber Power Frame. ONIX's product page lists its shape as standard, but at 16.5 in long it is elongated by our measure.
ONIX
9.1/10Elongated raw-carbon paddle with a tennis-style handle
ONIX aims the Lucent RC at experienced players who want more shot control: a Dual Action raw carbon fiber face, a Hexcell polypropylene core, an elongated shape and a long 5.7 in tennis-style handle, built with ThermoFused construction.

How the brand's paddle lines differ, and which one suits your game.
Full buying guideONIX's raw carbon paddles run from about $120 to $270, and the range splits into foam-core power, spin, wide-body control and lower-priced elongated paddles. ONIX backs them with a one-year limited warranty.
The Praxis ($169.99) pairs a T700 raw carbon face with an Endurafoam solid core that ONIX says keeps its pop longer than honeycomb. It comes in 16 mm or a faster 13 mm, and earns a 9.5 research score, the highest of the ONIX paddles we review.
The Adapt Max ($149.99) adds ONIX's MAXRev surface texture to an elongated 14 mm raw carbon paddle, for the top spin rating on our scale.
The Malice Raw Carbon ($249.99) has a wide 8 in face, an open throat and no edge guard, for a large, forgiving sweet spot. The Malice DB Raw Carbon ($269.99) adds a double-bridge throat with a rubber insert that ONIX says reduces vibration. Both come in 16 mm or 14 mm.
Both are $119.99 elongated 14 mm raw carbon paddles. The Hype X Pro is aimed at players moving into league play; the Lucent RC has a long 5.7 in tennis-style handle and is pitched at experienced players who want shot control.
