Combining power with uncompromising control and extra reach with one of the longest handles available, this is the Six Zero Double Black Diamond Elongated (DBDe)! Connecting Six Zero's Carbon Fusion Edge Technology with their 3D Carbon thermoformed 6 inch handle length results in great paddle comfort, durability and is also a source of the DBDe's manageable power. A 15mm Polypropylene Core with an Edge Foam Injection further supports the power afforded by its meticulous construction, and also helps zero out unwanted vibration at contact of the ball. And delivering a crisp feel, not to mention top tier spin potential is the use of 700K Japanese Toray Raw Carbon Fiber for the surface material. Proving that Six Zero spares no detail and makes paddles for players is a tapered neck, which enhances the efficiency and comfort of controlling the action with two fists on the paddle. In the hands of intermediate to advanced players and at an average weight of 8.1 ounces, the DBDe pickleball paddle packs a stable punch under the pressure of heavy hitters, making it easy to absorb pace and change direction of the ball, and is just as capable near the kitchen where soft hands are required.
