What Makes a Dual-Layer Carbon Face Different

Most carbon paddles use a single face layer. The Onyx stacks two: T700 carbon fibre for a crisp, controlled response, and a 3K twill weave on top for durability and wear resistance. The result is a face that keeps its texture — and its spin — longer.

What the TPU Edge Bumpers Do

The red TPU bumpers on each side of the head are a lightweight edge reinforcement. They damp vibration, steady the paddle on off-centre contact and help prevent the core from compressing over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dual-layer carbon pickleball paddle?

It is a paddle whose face uses two carbon layers instead of one. On the Onyx, a 3K twill weave sits over T700 carbon fibre: the T700 gives a crisp, controlled response and the 3K layer adds durability.

Do TPU edge bumpers reduce vibration?

They help. The TPU bumpers reinforce the edge and absorb part of the shock on contact, and together with the 16mm one-piece build they make the Onyx comfortable over long sessions.

Is the Onyx good for intermediate players?

Yes. Its 16mm core gives a large sweet spot and plenty of control, so it suits intermediate players who want to develop spin and touch, as well as advanced players who value comfort.

How much does the Onyx weigh?

233.6 g (8.2 oz), which places it in the midweight range — stable on drives while staying quick at the net.
