Advanced Next Gem Technology: Black Opal
This paddle is not for casual play. We set out to create a paddle for competitors, the ones who train when no one is watching, chase incremental gains, and care about performance when it matters most. The Black Opal is built from the ground up with next-generation materials and patent-pending technologies that deliver explosive power, precision control, and long-lasting consistency. Not for comfort. For performance.
Why choose the Black Opal?
- Built for serious competitors and aspiring pros
- Designed for players who want an edge, not forgiveness
- Delivers explosive power with precise, confident control
- Chosen by pros because it performs under pressure
- Diamond Tough surface engineered to maintain texture longer
G4 Aerospace Solid Foam Core
At the heart of the Black Opal is our proprietary G4 Aerospace Foam Core, a high-density solid construction designed to maximize energy transfer and responsiveness. The 14mm profile keeps the paddle fast in your hands while delivering the pop needed to stay aggressive.
- Clean, powerful contact

Power Gel: Explosive Energy Layer
The Black Opal features our patent-pending Power Gel layer, engineered to amplify shot energy without forcing you to overswing.
- More pace on drives

Shock Shield Handle Technology
With every swing, Shock Shield technology absorbs vibration and enhances feedback. This silicone injection system is built directly into the handle, reducing harsh impact while keeping you connected to every shot.
- Reduced arm fatigue
- Improved feel and feedback
- More control under pressure
Carbon Lite Construction
Engineered with aerospace-grade Carbon Lite materials, the Black Opal delivers an ideal strength-to-weight ratio for fast, aggressive play.

- Built for high-intensity play
Diamond Tough Surface
The Black Opal features Six Zero’s patent-pending Diamond Tough face, engineered to maintain its texture and feel longer so what you trust on day one is still there on day fifty.

Product FAQ
Disappointing level of upgraded powe compared to coral which i play with.
Love the paddle
Raquette très puissante et contrôle impressionnant
Great paddle!
Already have the Six Zero Double Black Diamond and thought, now that I play better, I needed a bit more pop. Just received and have been playing with the Black Opal. Was not disappointed. More pop but same spin and feel. Six Zero has a customer for life.
Fast and beautiful; feels great!!!
TL;DR Great paddle. Coral and some other brands may be better.
Good: 11/10 design, power, probably the best feeling/sounding sweet spot of any foam paddle, not too light or heavy, you can really feel that “shock shield” stuff working
Meh: Grit does seem to last but it doesnt start with much. Mishits lose a lot more power than with other paddles. I wish there was a 16mm option
Bad: Nothing
Great paddle with balance of pop, piwer and control.
I absolutely love this paddle
So far good
