ONIX OUTBREAK REVIEW Look/Cosmetics Really sharp-looking paddle that catches your eye immediately. Has a large, colorful Onix emblem on the face, with checkerboard- like squares behind it. Comes in red and blue. Handle is more rectangular in shape and feels very much like a tennis racquet handle. Graphite face feels slightly textured. Thicker core adds stability and shock absorption. Serves/Returns/Groundstrokes The graphite Outbreak is an extreme touch/feel paddle, so you have to do a little extra work on shots from the backcourt. Serves and groundstrokes have decent pace behind them, but control is the name of the game here. Get up to the line and that’s where the fun begins! Touch/Feel The new “Textreme” reinforced graphite fibers in the Outbreak give you outstanding touch and control on all your shots—but especially your dinks and finesse shots. Graphite fans and “dinkmasters” need to check this one out for sure! Could be the softest-feeling paddle on the market. A Great Valentine’s Gift for you or your favorite pickleballer! High quality fine jewelry designs handmade in Sterling Silver and Gold. Necklaces, earrings, bracelets, charms and key fobs. Sound/Sweet Spot Sound is fine—nothing distracting or annoying to your neighbors. Sweet spot seems a bit more forgiving than your typical graphite paddle. This may be due to the Textreme technology, which allows the graphite fibers to lay more flat. Summary Touch-and-feel fans now have a new paddle to consider. Onix has designed this one specifically for the touchy feely crowd, and this one’s a winner. Gives you more pop than usual from these types of paddles, but the soft feel is unparalleled.
