Overview

Custom Six Zero neoprene paddle cover included with paddle ($20 value).

Six Zero is pushing paddle tech forward with the first ever 100% kevlar face. It hits a little harder than the original Double Black Diamond and has top tier spin. Other benefits include increased paddle durability, stability and more forgiveness in the throat area of the paddle. 

The Ruby has increased spin and power from previous generations of Six Zero paddles. It does come at a slight cost of control and forgiveness.

Six Zero Ruby Diamond technology:

High-Tech Production Process: To produce the highest quality paddles the Ruby is manufactured using multi-stage cold and hot mold process technology.

Aerodynamically Engineered Flared Design: The paddle’s shape is designed to optimize reach and aerodynamics. A slightly flared shape improves the sweet spot in the core hitting zone of the paddle.

DuPont™ Kevlar® Textured Surface: A newly developed Premium American DuPont™ Kevlar® textured surface that provides amazing spin, grip and feel on the ball. Multiple interwoven layers add strength, power and controlled pop.

Carbon Fusion Edge Technology: To improve robustness, durability and responsiveness the Six Zero Team have developed Carbon Fusion Edge Technology. Foam injection followed by a light-weight carbon seam fusing the top and bottom faces of the paddle results in a crisp feel and an increased sweet spot that radiates around the paddle perimeter.

Premium Honeycomb Polymer Core: Tried and tested to ensure the ultimate power engine for lasting performance. The 16mm thick core gives the best power to control ratio.

3D Carbon Forged Elongated Handle: To maximize strength and performance Six Zero engineers have designed a 3D carbon fused handle. The carbon face and fusion edge technology extends down the full length of the handle and is forged together under heat and pressure – 3D carbon. The construction is designed to reduce vibration, ensuring comfortable play and a responsive feel. The design allows for optimal flex, improving the paddle neck sweet spot. A tapered neck and a 5.3” elongated handle accommodates double backhand players. The handle is finished with a premium custom Six Zero perforated leather grip with a 4.25” circumference – suited to all sized hands.

Perfectly Balanced: Our engineering and quality control team paid particular attention to the importance of a perfectly weighted and balanced paddle. Ergonomics play an important role in player comfort and control.

USA Pickleball Approved. All Six Zero paddles have been individually tested to meet grit and deflection tests to meet USA Pickleball paddle rules.

Our Review

The Ruby maintains the same hybrid shape that Six Zero has become so well known for that gives some extra reach without being too heavy and maintaining a good sized sweet spot.

The Ruby’s main differentiator from Six Zero’s popular Double Black Diamond 16mm is the facing material. The Ruby uses a kevlar facing material while the Double Black Diamond uses carbon fiber. While the kevlar face didn’t change much of how the paddle performs in terms of its power and control output compared to the Double Black Diamond it does have a softer, more muted, plush feel to it compared to the stiffer, crisp feel of the Double Black Diamond.

So if you want that all-court performance but with a more muted feel then this is a good option.
