This purchase was to replace my 2-year old double black díamond. I loved the original, but after 2 years of frequent and hard play, I needed a new one. I love the face texture on the newer paddles. Tonight I added some lead tape to replicate that on my husbands double black diamond—I used his paddle 2 weeks ago to earn a gold medal!
most definitely noticeable difference from my bog standard paddle. solid sweet spot and grippy surface made all the difference.
Overall great paddle and quite forgiving. The shipment packing could have been better for the price. Got the paddle with its cover in a bubble envelope.
I normally play with the 16 but occasionally want more power. The 14 mm has fulfilled that need. Both paddles are great to play with.
quality product,great price,fast delivery
Used it for 2 days and my performance improved. I could brush the ball more and react faster.
The Double Black Diamond (DBD) has outstanding maneuverability and responsiveness. I noticed a remarkable improvement in my shots’ accuracy and spin, giving me an edge over opponents. Additionally, the paddle’s durability is commendable, as it has withstood rigorous use without showing any signs of wear and tear. This longevity ensures that the paddle remains reliable and consistent, making it a wise investment for serious pickleball enthusiasts. It’s the best price on the market for the quality after using referral discount ‘Alpha10’. I just bought another as a backup and I highly recommend to anyone who wants to improve their game.
I love my Double Black Diamond, so I purchased a second one! Highly recommend!
I've been playing for about a year with a beginner's paddle and decided to upgrade as I advance more into intermediate range. The difference is remarkable - the Zero Six paddle has a more forgiving sweet spot, I like the feel of the hits better, and my shots are more accurate both in placement and in force.
Awesome
