For a year I thought my Ruby was the best paddle that I have ever bought. My black diamond power just changed my mind
I have played with the double black diamond 16mm and also the elongated db 15mm, I do really like the elongated but find in doubles it’s a little slower at kitchen line, so I will use it for singles. I tried this paddle(black power 14mm) and love tue feel I get from it, yes I still need to work on the soft game with it but at this point it’s doing everything I was looking for.
It quite sure yet, need more time with it
Increased control.
I own a number of 6.0 products. Started with the DBD control and loved it, still do but needed some extra pop without effecting my control game. The transition was pretty easy for me and now it's my go to paddle. I stepped out to try the new paddletek bantam 14.3 and it didn't suit me well. Sweet spot is small and I was spraying everything. Went back the BD Power and it was night and day. Power was near the same and control was much better. I'm a happy six zero customer.
First time with a 14mm. Really enjoying the feel. Yes, I have had to adjust. My resets were a bit off but my kitchen play has improved. The pop and spin is allowing me more options
I recently switched to Six Zero from another brand that I am actually an Ambassador for! I was no longer satisfied and purchased a 6.0 14mm Ruby to try out the new Kevlar technology. I previously used a 16mm paddle so wasn’t sure if control would be an issue using the thinner platform. I was pleasantly rewarded with a good feeling paddle but was still looking for more power so decided to go with the single diamond 14mm as my backup but after using it for the first time it is now my number 1. I can’t believe how much feel I get yet it has beautiful pop on my volleys and Is very responsive when I’m in hand battles at the net. The only drawback I find is I don’t get good response on hits at the edge of the paddle especially on soft hits at the kitchen. Not enough of an issue for me to downgrade how I feel about it. I will pick up another soon.
I purchased the 16mm control after the MOD which didn't suit me. This paddle is a great substitute for the MOD and I love playing with it.
Recently got hold of the BD Infinity Power and took awhile to get used to as I have been using the Control model but it drives very well and I am beginning to love it!
