Every pickleball player knows the thrill—and the struggle—of finding the perfect paddle. That one paddle that feels like an extension of your hand, letting you dominate the court with precision and power. For Colleen MacDougall, a dedicated member of Pickleball Antigonish in Nova Scotia, that search had been long and full of solid-but-not-spectacular results.

She needed a paddle with more pop to finish points, yet still soft and controlled enough for critical dinks and resets. Like many players, she was searching for that delicate balance between power and finesse.

The Onix Solution: Expert Guidance from a Pro

The breakthrough came from Mike Hinchey, an Onix-sponsored player and expert in paddle performance. Understanding Colleen’s style and needs, Mike recommended the Onix Evoke Premier Raw Carbon 16mm.

Colleen took the advice and picked up the paddle in August—and was immediately impressed. The raw carbon fiber face delivered crisp, responsive power, while the 16mm polypropylene core provided the touch and control required for those precise shots. The Evoke Premier didn’t just meet her expectations—it exceeded them.
