ONIX Evoke Premier Raw Carbon Paddle vs Spartus Spitfire Elongated

The Spitfire Elongated is the stronger all-around pick for most shoppers. It has a longer face, a thicker 16 mm foam core, lab-tested spin near the top of the field, and a much larger review base at a higher rating. The ONIX Evoke Premier is the better fit for players who want a rigid, crisp raw carbon face with a standard shape and a choice of core thickness for control or power. Owners of the Spitfire praise its grit retention and fast hands; owners of the ONIX praise its control and build. The Spitfire asks for cleaner contact because its sweet spot is solid but not huge.

• Choose the ONIX Evoke Premier if you want a stiff raw carbon face, a standard 16 by 8 inch shape, and a core thickness you pick for control or power.
• Choose the Spitfire Elongated if you want extra reach, top-tier measured spin, and a face that keeps its grit through months of play.
