$180<\/a> | Discount code DASHPB<\/p>\nAwards:<\/strong> Best Six Zero all-court paddle<\/p>\nWhere it excels:<\/strong> The Ruby delivers top marks in key areas, including control, spin, and power. The Kevlar-faced Ruby has the best spin output of any Six Zero paddle to date. It’s also the most plush and controllable paddle in Six Zero’s lineup, beating out the DBD. It’s excellent for dropping, dinking, and resetting.<\/p>\nWhere it struggles:<\/strong> The Ruby won’t deliver the same high-level pop output of Six Zero’s other paddles in this lineup. This could be seen as a negative or a positive, depending on the player. Its plusher feel gives great touch, but it won’t perform as well for counters or speed ups compared to the DBD. It comes in slightly heavier than other Six Zero paddles, which can make it slower to maneuver, albeit very subtly so. Note that this extra weight also increases its power output.<\/p>\nWhere it stands in the lineup:\u00a0<\/strong>The Ruby is the new king on the block, supplanting the Double Black Diamond as the best all-around control-focused thermoformed paddle from Six Zero. It has the best touch and spin of all of Six Zeros paddles. It also delivers high-level power, right up there with the Black Diamond and Infinity Black Diamond, though it doesn’t come with the same pop output as the Black Diamond, so it is a less aggressive paddle.<\/p>\nMy opinion of the Ruby:<\/strong> The Ruby is an aesthetically unique paddle that features Six Zero’s next-level evolution in paddle performance. It’s a step up in most areas, and as such, it wins the award for my most recommended paddle from Six Zero for most players.<\/p>\nWho I recommend the Ruby to:<\/strong> The Ruby is a great fit for anyone interested in a top-tier control-focused thermoformed paddle. If you want a paddle with the best spin and control in the thermoformed market while retaining excellent power, I’d recommend the Ruby wholeheartedly. If high pop performance is essential, read on or wait for the 14mm Ruby coming later in 2024.<\/p>\n\t\t
