Inside the Ruby Pro

The Foundation We Refused to Compromise

The original Ruby succeeded because it felt right in the hands. It delivered heavy spin without feeling unpredictable. It offered power without sacrificing control. It rewarded confident swings while still performing in soft-game situations.

Those qualities were non-negotiable.

Every design decision behind the Ruby Pro started with one question.
How do we preserve this feel while elevating performance, durability, and consistency?

The answer required starting over.

New materials.
New construction methods.
All new Next Gem™ Technology.

The goal was never to preserve the construction of the original Ruby. It was to protect the feel players trusted, while rebuilding everything beneath it.

That commitment is what led to the Ruby Pro being rebuilt entirely around Six Zero’s Next Gem™ Technology, a system designed to translate feel into measurable, repeatable performance.

Next Gem™ Technology: Built as a complete system

The Ruby Pro is constructed from the ground up using Six Zero’s Next Gem™ Technology platform. Rather than relying on a single performance feature, Next Gem™ is a fully integrated system where each material layer plays a specific role in shaping feel, response, and long-term durability.

Every technology below contributes to the Ruby Pro’s defining characteristics: consistency, controlled power, long-lasting spin, and confidence under pressure.

Diamond Tough™ Texture

The Ruby Pro features our award-winning Diamond Tough™ surface, a patent-pending diamond-infused face engineered for durability and sustained spin.

Diamond Tough delivers up to four times longer texture life compared to traditional raw carbon surfaces, with an updated nano-texture that meets UPA and USAP compliance. Spin performance remains consistent over time, not just during early use.

12-Gauge Premium Core

At the heart of the Ruby Pro is a premium high-density polypropylene core with a tighter 12mm cell structure.

This construction increases dwell and control while delivering a linear power response that scales naturally with swing speed. The paddle reacts consistently whether you are playing touch at the kitchen or accelerating through a full drive.

Shock Shield

Shock Shield is a silicon-injected handle technology designed to absorb vibration at impact.

It reduces strain on the arm and wrist while creating a softer, more comfortable feel in the hands. This is especially valuable during extended play or for players sensitive to vibration, without muting feedback.

FlexTech 45

FlexTech 45 offsets the carbon cloth weave at a precise 45-degree angle, improving dwell time and spin while enhancing directional control.

This layup changes how the paddle flexes at impact, increasing responsiveness across all shot types. Players feel more connected to the ball, especially when rolling topspin, shaping angles, or resetting in the soft game.

Power Gel

Power Gel is a proprietary internal layer designed to balance shock absorption with elastic response.

It enhances pop and power while maintaining touch and control, contributing to the Ruby Pro’s composed feel during fast exchanges and counters.

How the Ruby Pro feels on court

The Ruby Pro delivers a linear power profile that feels consistent, responsive, and controlled from the first swing to the last point.

Power comes on smoothly and predictably, allowing players to accelerate with confidence rather than forcing pace. The paddle responds the same way shot after shot, which builds trust during fast exchanges and pressured situations.

What players notice most is how calm the paddle feels when the game speeds up.

• Drives and counters stay controlled and intentional
  

• Spin feels heavy and reliable across long sessions
  

• Soft shots remain composed in the kitchen
  

• Feedback stays clean without feeling harsh
  

This is a paddle built for players who value consistency and responsiveness as much as power. It rewards confident swings while maintaining the control needed to play smart, creative pickleball.

A complete rebuild with purpose

The Ruby Pro was never about replacing what worked. It was about rebuilding the paddle with better materials, deeper engineering insight, and technology that supports performance over time.
