Malice Open Throat Composite Onix

Pickleball· Malice

Updated on 10/03/2026

The Malice Open Throat brings the open-throat design of tennis racquets to pickleball. A carbon fiber Power Frame wraps the entire paddle and reinforces the structure, and the tennis-style handle is filled with high-density foam for comfort and less vibration. The face is DF composite and the polypropylene honeycomb core comes in 14 or 16 mm, the latter for those who want maximum control. It measures 16 x 8 inches, weighs 7.8 to 8.2 oz and has a 5 inch handle with a 4 1/4 grip.
