Six Zero releases another premium paddle, with their Double Black Diamond, which performance wise leans towards precision and control, with a measured amount of realistic power! Much of the Double Black Diamond’s power is derived from its stability inducing 8.1 oz. average weight, and 16.3 in. overall length, which provides the extra reach needed to effectively deal with an opponent’s pesky shot placement. Paired with either a 14mm. or 16mm. polypropylene honeycomb core the thinner core supplies additional power, where the 16mm. core harnesses that power with longer ball dwell time, for ultimate shot predictability and obedience. Another standout trait is the multi-stage cold and hot molding process, which both strengthens the Double Black Diamond from tip-to-grip, and refines the return of energy to the ball. Incredible, and permanent spin potential is the result of using of a proprietary Japanese Toray 700 Raw Carbon surface. In addition the combined effect of the high quality core, and surface materials delivers comfort, plus a lower decibel footprint at impact of the ball. Tripling down on the theme of control, quality and the Double Black Diamond’s all-court capability, is a 3D Carbon forged handle of a 5.5 in. length, and a choice of a 4.125 in. or 4.25 in. grip diameter wrapped in a perforated grip. If you are the player who prefers easier back court power, with plenty of NVZ precision, the 14mm. model is the easy choice. And if maximizing paddle precision, from anywhere in the court, is your thing the 16mm. example of the Six Zero Double Black Diamond affords that and more.
