黑欧泊 14mm

I was honestly pretty hesitant before getting the Six Zero Black Opal Elongated. Everything I read made it sound like an absolute rocket launcher that would be tough to keep on the court, especially when trying to reset or dink at the kitchen.

First off, the cosmetic defect on mine is really not that bad at all—you barely even notice it unless you’re actively looking for it, and it definitely doesn't affect how it plays.

Before hitting the court, I added 1.5g of lead tape at 3 and 9 o'clock to open up the sweet spot a bit and slapped on an overgrip for some extra cushion.

Once I started playing, I was genuinely surprised. The power and pop are definitely there when you want to put a ball away or rip a drive, but the control is what blew me away. Drops from the baseline felt natural right out of the gate, and resetting hard drives was way easier than I expected. It just feels super stable and predictable.

The only real catch is that after a couple of hours of intense play, you might feel the weight a bit in your wrist or forearm with the tape and overgrip on there. But for the stability and plow-through you get in return, I think it's a great trade-off.

Bottom line: don't let the power hype scare you off. It plays and controls so good.

After using a Six Zero Double Black Diamond I was looking for a bit more pop and power... And I definitely found it! It will take a little to get used to it, but I'm already loving the feel of the paddle. I feel like it is going to help me elevate my game, so I'm really happy with the purchase.

The elongated grip is great , although my previous Coral is still a handy backup.

Love this paddle. Probably my favourite over the coral pro. Has good feel, power and spin.

This product was a donation sent by your company to put in our silent auction. Product looks amazing, and we are excited to place it in our silent auction.

I've now used the paddle twice. Love the pop and power, while at the same time having the control for resets and dinks. A great balance overall, and I'm excited to dial in my game as I adjust to the superior performance of the Black Opal.

Like the foam internals, found no dead spots on paddle

Excellent

Currently, the black opal is very difficult to enjoy playing with. Missing tons of shots both at the baseline and at the net since I am not consistently catching the ball in the sweet spot.
I had a hard time adjusting when I first received my six zero ruby, but after a few sessions the paddle clicked for me and it was my main paddle that I felt really confident with. Learning to use that paddle made me a better player. I bought the black opal paddle knowing the stigma and warnings about control issues, but hoping it will help me refine my technique by dialing in on precise ball connection. Remains to be seen. Also this thing is so heavy compared to the Ruby, I’m going to need to start lifting weights if I want compete in fast hand battles lol.

Love the elongated shape with the longer handle. Looking forward to the Boulder Opal.

This new version of the Opal fixed my peeves with the original Opal. The handle is longer so more of my second hand fits and twoies are more consistent, and the sweet spot is noticably larger. A great balance of power and control.
