More Than a Paddle: Celebrating the Life of Max Robinson
The Black Opal is more than a paddle. It's a story of courage and heart. We have added “Max Power” to the paddle in honor of Max Clayton Robinson, a bright and fearless young boy whose laughter, resilience, and boundless spirit touched everyone around him. Like the opal itself, forged under immense pressure into something rare and beautiful, Max’s life reminds us of the beauty and resilience found in the hardest of battles. To carry his legacy forward, a portion of every Black Opal paddle purchase is donated to Clown Doctors, bringing joy and support to children and families facing cancer, just as Max inspired joy in all who knew him.

Black Opal Paddle Review
See why competitive players choose the Black Opal for its explosive power and ability to finish points, with the precision and spin to back it up.
Product FAQ
The Black Opal is our most advanced paddle yet, featuring a new G4 Aerospace Foam Core and Power Gel layer that combine for explosive energy and precise control. It also includes Diamond Tough surface technology for unmatched spin longevity and Carbon Lite construction for lightweight speed. Compared to other models, it blends pro-level power with reliable control, making it ideal for players who want the best of both worlds.
The Black Opal is engineered for serious players, from competitive intermediates to top professionals. Its unique balance of control, power, and dwell time makes it accessible to developing players while still meeting the demands of elite athletes.
The G4 core is a floating solid foam design that transfers energy more efficiently than traditional polymer cores. This means faster hands at the net, a responsive sweet spot, and the ability to generate power without sacrificing control. The 14 mm design plays like a thicker paddle, offering the best of both speed and stability.
Power Gel is a custom-engineered performance layer built into the paddle face. It amplifies shot energy to add pop to drives and counters, while maintaining touch for dinks and drops. You get more depth and pace on offensive shots without losing finesse around the kitchen.
Yes. Shock Shield is a silicone injection system integrated directly into the handle. It absorbs vibration on impact, which reduces stress on the wrist, elbow, and shoulder. This improves comfort during long matches and builds player confidence in fast-paced play.
Diamond Tough uses real diamond particles infused into the paddle face, extending surface life up to four times longer than industry standards. This means your spin, bite, and texture will hold up match after match, giving you consistent performance far beyond most paddles.
The Black Opal strikes a rare balance. Carbon Lite construction makes it fast and maneuverable, while the solid foam core and Power Gel layer provide baseline power. The result is a paddle that feels light in hand but delivers explosive force when you need it.
The Black Opal is available exclusively in a 14mm thickness, but it’s intentionally engineered to play like a 16mm paddle. Its G4 core is 25% more dense than traditional honeycomb or foam constructions, creating a solid, responsive feel with outstanding control. Combined with our Power Gel layer and Diamond Tough surface, this design delivers the plush dwell time and touch of a thicker paddle, while maintaining the speed, pop, and maneuverability that define Six Zero performance. The result is a paddle that gives players the best of both worlds: power and precision in perfect balance.
The Black Opal stands apart thanks to its proprietary technologies: the G4 core, Power Gel layer, and Diamond Tough surface. Built with aerospace-grade materials and advanced engineering methods, it delivers exceptional durability, enhanced spin, and a balanced play profile that adapts seamlessly to a variety of playing styles.
Each Black Opal paddle includes a built-in NFC chip that you can scan with your phone. It takes you to a registration page where the serial number is automatically entered and verified against our database. This ensures your paddle is authentic, protects you from counterfeits, and activates your warranty. It’s a simple way to secure your purchase and your peace of mind.

Robert S. (Spring, US) 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.

Joshua Fast and beautiful; feels great!!!
C
Carlton 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
S
S.M. Great paddle with balance of pop, piwer and control.
