A sponsor deal or product page tells you the brand and model, not the exact match paddle, weight, or tape. Each field below shows its own source and date.

Paddle Confirmed

ONIX Evoke Premier Raw Carbon 12mm

Brand-reported: ONIX’s undated Team ONIX article; not an independent match sighting. The article calls the Malice Raw Carbon Open Throat (announced by ONIX in November 2024) new, so the text may date from around his January 2025 signing, and a later switch cannot be ruled out.

ONIX Evoke Premier Raw Carbon in the 12mm Power option, sold in pink and orange on the same page. Retail specification only.
