Operating the Paddle

• Increased Pop: The paddle's construction offers more "pop" from the baseline, allowing for powerful drives and serves.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and performance of your Onix Pickleball Paddle:

• Cleaning: Wipe the paddle surface with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the paddle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Excessive heat or cold can affect the paddle's core and surface materials.
• Grip Care: If the grip becomes worn or loses its tackiness, consider replacing it with a new pickleball overgrip or replacement grip.
• Edge Guard: Periodically check the edge guard for any signs of wear or damage. While designed for protection, severe impacts can compromise its integrity.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Onix Pickleball Paddle, consider the following common solutions:

• Reduced Pop or Power:
  • Ensure you are hitting the ball within the paddle's sweet spot.
  • Check for any visible damage to the paddle face or core that might affect performance.
• Slippery Grip:
  • Clean the grip with a mild soap and water solution, then allow it to air dry completely.
  • If the grip is worn, replace it with a new one for better traction.
• Unusual Noises or Vibrations:
  • Inspect the paddle for any cracks or loose components, especially around the edge guard and handle.
  • If significant damage is found, discontinue use and contact customer support.
